"Polarization" is a word in ENGLISH
An effect produced upon the plates of a voltaic
battery, or the electrodes in an electrolytic cell, by the deposition
upon them of the gases liberated by the action of the current. It is
chiefly due to the hydrogen, and results in an increase of the
resistance, and the setting up of an opposing electro-motive force,
both of which tend materially to weaken the current of the battery, or
that passing through the cell.
A peculiar affection or condition of the rays of
light or heat, in consequence of which they exhibit different
properties in different directions.
The act of polarizing; the state of being polarized,
or of having polarity.
[Tolstoy] does not necessarily get rid of [his angry] temperament by undergoing religious conversion, and indeed it is obvious that the illusion of having been reborn may allow one's native vices to flourish more freely than ever, though perhaps in subtler forms.
WORD SUGGESTIONS
A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces his altitude and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"The man below says: "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field.""You must work in Technical Support," says the balloonist."I do," replies the man. "How did you know?""Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but completely useless."The man below says: "You must be in management.""I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?""Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're still in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
A substance used to prevent polarization, as upon the negative plate of a voltaic battery.
