irreciprocity|ɪrɛsɪˈprɒsɪtɪ| [ir-2.] Absence of reciprocity. irreciprocity of conduction (Electr.): alteration in the magnitude of a current when its direction is reversed.
1886Nature 25 Feb. 407/2 This irreciprocity of conduction obtained only for strong currents and for those of short duration. Ibid. 408/1 This irreciprocity of conduction explained in a most highly interesting manner the powerful effect of the strokes directed outwards of electrical fish. 1888Gee & Holden in Philos. Mag. Aug. 133 Here it seems evident that the irreciprocity is due to the gradual formation of a badly-conducting film on the anode. |
