Form of energy that, when in motion exhibits magnetic, chemical, or thermal effects.
What is electricity?
100
A measurement of how much electric energy is being used in 1 second.
What is a watt?
100
A substance that easily transmits electricity. i.e. most metals expecially copper, water
What is a conductor?
100
An instrument that plugs into an ordinary wall outlet and produces different types of electric currents that are used for facial and scalp treatments.
What is a wall plate (facial stimulator)?
200
A rapid and interrupted current, flowing first in one direction and then in the opposite direction.
What is alternating current (AC)?
200
A unit that measures the resistance of an electric current.
What is an ohm?
200
A substance that does not easily transmit electricity. i.e. Rubber, silk, wood, glass, and cement.
What is an insulator or nonconductor?
200
Electric currents that are used for facial and scalp treatments.
What are modalities?
300
The flow of electricity along a conductor.
What is an electric current?
300
The unit that measures the amount of an electric current (the number of electrons flowing through a conductor).
What is an amp?
300
An apparatus that changes direct current to alternating currrent.
What is a converter?
400
A constant, even-flowing current that travels in one direction only.
What is direct current?
400
The unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes the flow of electrons forward through a conductor, much like the water pressure that pushes the water molecules through the hose.
What is a volt?
400
A special device that prevents excessive current from passing through a circuit.
What is a fuse?
500
The path of an electric current from the generating source through conductors and back to its original source.
What is a complete circuit?
500
The current for facial and scalp treatments is measured in this unit. It is one-thousandth of an ampere.
What is a milliampere?
500
A switch that automatically interrupts or shuts off an electric circuit at the first indication of an overload.
