Basics
A form of Energy the produces light, heat,magnetic and chemical changes is?
Electricity
Unit of electrical strength
Amp
This saftey device breaks the flow of current when an overload occurs.
Circuit breaker
Also known as the ionization; the only consistent direct current of low voltage and high amperage that produces an electrochemical affect; used to force water-soul able skin care products into the epidermis.
Galvanic current
This is a negatively charged electrode.
Cathode
A flow of electricity along a conductor.
Electric current
Unit of electric pressure
Volt
This problem occurs when too many appliances are put on one circuit and operated at the same time because more current flows through the line, than it is designed to carry.
Overload
This skin treatment allows an alkaline solution to enter the skin when assisted by galvanic current and the negative pole of an electrode.
Anaphoresis
This is a positively charged electrode.
Anoude
A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.
Conductor
Unit of electric resistance
Ohm
A break in an electrical circuit; any foreign conductor comes in contact with a wire carrying current to a load.
Short circuit
This is the type of phoresis that allows an acidic soultion to enter the skin when assisted by galvanic current and the positive pole of an electrode.
Cataphoresis
Portion of the electromagnetic spectrum humans can see.
Visible light
Load
A measure of how much electrical energy is being used.
Watt
Saftey device that prevents electrical wires form over heating.
Fuse
This alternating current can be adjusted to different voltages to produce heat or germicidal effects. Also known as the Tesla current.
High frequency current
Also known as actinic or cold rays.
Ultraviolet rays
Material that does not allow the flow of electric current
Insulator
This changes AC to DC
Rectifier
Saftey device designed to protect the user during the operation of appliances, especially those in metal cases; contains two rectangular prongs and one circular prong.
Grounding wire plug
This alternating current produces a mechanical effect, similar to the way faradic current produces muscle contractions.
Sinusoidal current
Government-approved agency that shows an appliance has been certified to operate safely under the conditions specified in the instructions.
UL or Underwriter’s Laboratory Rating
