| electroconvulsive treatment |
Electroconvulsive therapy, also known as electroshock or ECT, is a controversial type of psychiatric shock therapy involving the induction of an artificial seizure in a patient by passing electricity through the brain. Researchers remain uncertain as to exactly how ECT affects improvements in mental state, though patients with a variety of conditions have shown improvement after the procedure. ...

| electromotive force |
Electromotive force (emf) is a measure of the strength of a source of electrical energy. The unit of emf is the volt (energy per unit electric charge) and so the term 'force' is misleading. Thus, the expansion of the acronym is considered obsolete or at best, an embarrassing historical artifact. (The term is attributed to Alessandro Volta.). ...

| electromagnetic |
Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field, encompassing all of space, composed of the electric field and the magnetic field. The electric field can be produced by stationary electric charges, and gives rise to the electric force, which causes static electricity and drives the flow of electric current in electrical conductors. ...
