UNDERSTANDING ELECTRICITY
MOVEMENT OF ELECTRONS FROM ONE ATOM TO ANOTHER, ALONG A CONDUCTOR
WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?
RAPID, INTERRUPTED CURRENT, ONE DIRECTION THEN THE OPPOSITE, CHEMICAL MEANS
WHAT IS ALTERNATING CURRENT?
MEASURES STRENGTH OF ELECTRIC CURRENTS
WHAT IS AN AMPERE?
PREVENTS EXCESSIVE CURRENT FROM PASSING THROUGH A CIRCUIT
WHAT IS A FUSE?
DESIGNED TO PROTECT FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK, INTERRUPTING A HOUSEHOLD CIRCUIT WHEN THERE IS A LEAK IN THE CIRCUIT
WHAT IS GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTERS?
1/1,000 OF AN AMPERE
WHAT IS A MILLIAMPERE?
TYPE OF CONDUCTOR, USED IN ELECTRIC WIRING, & ELECTRIC MOTORS
WHAT IS COPPER?
CONSTANT, EVEN FLOWING CURRENT, TRAVELS ONE DIRECTION, CHEMICAL MEANS, DC
WHAT IS DIRECT CURRENT?
MEASURES PRESSURE/FORCE THAT PUSHES ELECTRIC CURRENT FORWARD THROUGH CONDUCTOR
WHAT IS A VOLT?
TRUE OR FALSE.....APPLIANCES WITH A THIRD CIRCULAR GROUNDING PIN OFFER THE MOST PROTECTION FOR YOU AND YOUR CLIENTS.
WHAT IS TRUE?
EXAMPLES OF GOOD INSULATORS
WHAT ARE RUBBER, SILK, WOOD, GLASS, CEMENT?
USE OF ELECTRICAL CURRENTS TO TREAT SKIN
WHAT IS ELECTROTHERAPY?
FLOW OF ELECTRICITY ALONG A CONDUCTOR
WHAT IS ELECTRIC CURRENT?
CHANGES ALTERNATING CURRENT TO DIRECT CURRENT
WHAT IS A RECTIFIER?
MEASURES HOW MUCH ELECTRIC ENERGY IS USED IN ONE SECOND

POSITIVE ELECTRODE
WHAT IS AN ANODE?
AKA...INSULATOR, DOES NOT TRANSMIT ELECTRICITY
WHAT IS A NONCONDUCTOR?
CHANGES DIRECT CURRENT TO ALTERNATING CURRENT

FORM OF ENERGY, WHEN IN MOTION, EXHIBITS MAGNETIC, CHEMICAL, OR THERMAL EFFECTS
WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?
MEASURES RESISTANCE OF AN ELECTRIC CURRENT
WHAT IS AN OHM?
COMPLETES AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT, CARRIES CURRENT SAFELY AWAY
WHAT IS GROUNDING?
APPLICATOR FOR DIRECTING ELECTRIC CURRENT FROM ELECTROTHERAPY DEVICE TO CLIENTS SKIN
WHAT IS AN ELECTRODE?
PATH OF NEGATIVE/POSITIVE ELECTRIC CURRENTS MOVING THROUGH AND BACK TO GENERATING SOURCE
WHAT IS A COMPLETE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT?
