Voltaelectric

Electricity.—[…]—voltaelectric induction and magnetoelectric machines.

A flat disc, forming the negative pole of an ordinary voltaelectric apparatus, is applied over the pyloric end of the stomach.

Faraday reported that he could find no other signs of electricity such as shock, spark, heating, or chemical effect, but attributed this to the brief duration and feebleness of the current. The effect in general he characterized as voltaelectric induction.
