Any good anagrams for local action?

(a) In its most usual sense the electric currents within a battery, due to impurities in the zinc, which currents may circulate in exceedingly minute circuits, and which waste zinc and chemicals and contribute nothing to the regular current of the battery. Amalgamated or chemically pure zinc develops no local action.

(b) The term is sometimes applied to currents set up within the armature core or pole pieces of a dynamo. (See Currents, Foucault.)
