| gewöhnliche Elektrizitätsverlust the usual mechanism for the loss of electrical charge Explanation: IMO this is a reasonable wording. The understanding of the underlying physical nature of electricity was still relatively vague at that time, and the descriptions were generally phenomenological. What exactly Hallwachs and others at that time understood to be the 'usual mechanism of loss of electrical charge' is something I couldn't say. |

peer agreement (net): +1| gewöhnliche Elektrizitätsverlust usual charge loss Explanation: Klingt nach einem Experimen über den äußeren Photoeffekt. Ein üblicher Fachterminus wäre "charge loss", aber wenn Du in dem Register bleiben willst, das nicht der heutigen Sprache des Physikers entspricht, passt es evtl. nicht so gut. |
