(gcide) | Voltaic \Vol*ta"ic\, a. [Cf. F. volta["i]que, It. voltaico.]
[1913 Webster]
1. Of or pertaining to Alessandro Volta, who first devised
apparatus for developing electric currents by chemical
action, and established this branch of electric science;
discovered by Volta; as, voltaic electricity.
[1913 Webster]
2. Of or pertaining to voltaism, or voltaic electricity; as,
voltaic induction; the voltaic arc.
[1913 Webster]
Note: See the Note under Galvanism.
[1913 Webster]
Voltaic arc, a luminous arc, of intense brilliancy, formed
between carbon points as electrodes by the passage of a
powerful voltaic current.
Voltaic battery, an apparatus variously constructed,
consisting of a series of plates or pieces of dissimilar
metals, as copper and zinc, arranged in pairs, and
subjected to the action of a saline or acid solution, by
which a current of electricity is generated whenever the
two poles, or ends of the series, are connected by a
conductor; a galvanic battery. See Battery, 4.
(b), and Note.
Voltaic circuit. See under Circuit.
Voltaic couple or Voltaic element, a single pair of the
connected plates of a battery.
Voltaic electricity. See the Note under Electricity.
Voltaic pile, a kind of voltaic battery consisting of
alternate disks of dissimilar metals, separated by
moistened cloth or paper. See 5th Pile.
Voltaic protection of metals, the protection of a metal
exposed to the corrosive action of sea water, saline or
acid liquids, or the like, by associating it with a metal
which is positive to it, as when iron is galvanized, or
coated with zinc.

voltaic couple
(gcide) | Couple \Cou"ple\ (k[u^]p"'l), n. [F. couple, fr. L. copula a
bond, band; co- + apere, aptum, to join. See Art, a., and

1. That which joins or links two things together; a bond or
tie; a coupler. [Obs.]
[1913 Webster]
It is in some sort with friends as it is with dogs
in couples; they should be of the same size and
humor. --L'Estrange.
[1913 Webster]
I'll go in couples with her. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
2. Two of the same kind connected or considered together; a
pair; a brace. "A couple of shepherds." --Sir P. Sidney.
"A couple of drops" --Addison. "A couple of miles."
--Dickens. "A couple of weeks." --Carlyle.
[1913 Webster]
Adding one to one we have the complex idea of a
couple. --Locke.

[1913 Webster]
Fair couple linked in happy, nuptial league.
--Milton.
[1913 Webster]
4. (Arch.) See Couple-close.
[1913 Webster]
5. (Elec.) One of the pairs of plates of two metals which
compose a voltaic battery; -- called a voltaic couple or
galvanic couple.
[1913 Webster]
6. (Mech.) Two rotations, movements, etc., which are equal in
amount but opposite in direction, and acting along
parallel lines or around parallel axes.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The effect of a couple of forces is to produce a
rotation. A couple of rotations is equivalent to a
motion of translation.
