Electrical Measurements
Unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes electric current forward through a conductor
Volt
What is the movement of electrons from one atom to another along a conductor. This does not occupy space nor does it have mass/weight
Electricity
What prevents excessive current from passing through a circuit. It is designed to blow out or melt when the wire becomes too hot.
Fuse
Also known as a probe which is an applicator for directing electric current from an electrotherapy device to the clients skin
Electrode
What prompts the skin to produce vitamin D
Ultraviolet Light
The unit that measures the strength of an electric current
Ampere (AMP)
What is an apparatus that changes direct current to alternating current?
Inverter
Completes an electric circuit and carries the current safely away
Grounding
Refers to the poles of an electric current either positive or negative
Polarity
In acrylic nails the monomers used are ________that solidify nails
Catalysts
This current is used for facial and scalp treatments; an ampere current would be much too strong
Milliampere
What is an apparatus that changes alternating current to direct current?
Rectifier
What is designed to protect from electrical shock by interrupting a household circuit when there is a leak in the circuit. They are required in bathrooms, kitchens, and some outside receptacles
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
The process of infusing water soluble products onto the skin with the use of electric current
Iontophoresis
invisible light with longer wavelengths, deeper penetration, less energy, and more heat production than visible light:
Makes up to 60 percent of natural sunlight
Infrared Light
The unit that measures the resistance of an electric current
Ohm
What are good conductors?
Metals, copper, and tap water
Certifies the safety of electrical appliances
Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
An extremely low level of electricity that mirrors the body's natural electrical impulses
Microcurrent
The phone charger in your car is an example of what?
Inverter
Unit that measures how much electric energy is being used in one second
Watt
What percentage of natural sunlight is visible, making up the visible spectrum of light
35%
The name given to all the forms of energy (or radiation) that exists
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Thermal or heat-producing current with a high rate of oscillation or vibration that is commonly used for scalp and facial treatments:
Also known as Violet Ray
Tesla High-Frequency Current
What stimulates and irritates the nerves
Anaphoresis
