magneto-electricityn.

1833 M. Faraday in Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 123 44 I have made many endeavours to effect chemical decomposition by magneto-electricity.

1842 W. R. Grove Lect. Progr. Physical Sci. 21 Here originates the Science of Magneto-electricity, the true converse of Electro-magnetism.

1845 J. P. Joule in Electr. Mag. 1 138 The magneto-electricity developed in the coils of the revolving electro-magnet.

1853 F. C. Bakewell Electr. Sci. 143 Electro-magnets..have been sometimes used instead of permanent magnets for the induction of magneto-electricity.

1866 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 157 92 Waves of magneto-electricity were generated.

1967 E. U. Condon & H. Odishaw Handbk. Physics (ed. 2) iv. viii. 143/1 These instances of piezomagnetism and magnetoelectricity were observed experimentally after Dzyaloshinskiĭ had predicted them theoretically.

1972 Solid State Communic. 10 657/2 It was therefore identified as a likely candidate to exhibit magnetoelectricity.

1994 New Scientist 17 Sept. 45/3 Even more important was a piece of work..on the introduction of electricity as the power source for lighthouses. Two methods were developed: one by a Dr Watson, using batteries and carbon arcs, and the other by a Mr Holmes (not Sherlock) using the spark from magnetoelectricity.
