Counter batten
Wood strips installed vertically on sloped roofs over which horizontal battens are secured.
Counter electromotive force
Force that occurs due to the voltage produced by a magnetic field that is in opposition to the magnetic field that is around a coil. The voltage is induced in the coil when the magnetic field cuts the coil. Current moving through the coil forms a magnetic field around the coil. This magnetic field moves across the turns of the coil, which induces a second voltage, which builds a magnetic field opposing the course current. The induced voltage is counter electromotive force.
Counteract
To undo the effect of something with opposing action. To neutralize.
Counterbalance
Weight used to balance another weight. A force or influence that offsets another.
Counterbore
The increase of the diameter of an opening for only part of the length. Holes though a material may have a one-inch sized diameter of half of the length with only a 3Ú4 inch diameter for the balance of the hole, making it counterbored to a diameter of one inch to a depth of 1Ú2 inch.
