1. Electric clock

   An electric clock is a clock that is powered by electricity, as opposed to a mechanical clock which is powered by a hanging weight or a mainspring. The term is often applied to the electrically powered mechanical clocks that were used before quartz clocks were introduced in the 1980s. The first experimental electric clocks were constructed around the 1840s, but they were not widely manufactured until mains electric power became available in the 1890s. In the 1930s, the synchronous electric clock replaced mechanical clocks as the most widely used type of clock.

1. electric clock

   An electric clock is a timekeeping device that uses electric currents and signals to operate. It often uses the oscillations from a quartz crystal or the frequency of alternating current to accurately measure the passage of time. Some electric clocks are powered through a direct connection to an electrical source, while others can operate on batteries.

Examples of electric clock in a Sentence

1. James Thurber:

   I loathe the expression What makes him tick. It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.
