Vocabulary
A form of energy that produces light, heat, magnetic and chemical changes.
What is Electricity?
Electricity consists of the flow of tiny, negatively charged particles called what?
Unit of Electric Strength
What is an Amp or Ampere?
A path on which the electricity leaves the source and travels to an appliance in order to power it.
What is a closed path or circuit?
The only constant direct current of low voltage and high amperage that produces an electrochemical effect. AKA: ionization
What is Galvanic Current?
The flow of electricity along a conductor.
What is Electric Current?
The constant current in which electrons move at an even rate and flow in only one direction.
Unit of Electricity Pressure.
What is a Volt?
What is the Underwriter's Laberatory? Or UL
The process of forcing water-based solutions into the skin by applying galvanic current to the solution is known as.
What is ionization?
A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.
Double Jeopardy: to double your points, give two examples.
What is a Conductor?
Bonus Answers: Silver, copper, aluminum, other metals, carbon and water.
Rapid and oscillating cycle that alternates back and forth, allowing electrons to flow first in one direction and then in the other.
What is Alternating Current?
Unit of Electric Resistance.
What is an Ohm?
When there is too many appliances put on one circuit and operated at the same time causing more current to flow through than the circuit is designed to carry it causes this.
What is an Overload?
Treatment in which blockages in the skin, such as clogged pores or blackheads are broken down. AKA Deep pore cleansing. Water soluble solutions used are alkaline and have a negative charge.
What is Desincrustation?
What is electrotherapy?
Double Jeopardy: To double your points list the other special intrument that converts Direct Current to Alternating Current.
What is a Rectifier?
Double Jeopardy Answer:
What is a Converter?
Measure of the electricity used?
What is a Watt?
Anytime an outside conductor comes in contact with a wire carrying current to an appliance. For example, dropping an appliance into water while it is plugged in or breaks in a cord leaving wires exposed and you accidentally touching the exposed wire.
What is a short circuit?
An alternating or oscillating current that can be adjusted to different voltages to produce heat. Uses glass electrodes filled with gas- either Argon or Neon.
What is High Frequency Current or Tesla Current?
The instrument used to measure the electrical current used in skin care equipment.
What is a Milliamperemeter?
A material that does not allow current to pass through it, it protects you from the electric current and allows you to handles electricity.
Bonus:
List some examples of this material for an extra 100 points each!
What is an Insulator?
Bonus Answers: Silk, Dry Air, Plastic, Rubber, Wood, Glass, Brick, Cloth and certain liquids.
The power used for skin care equipment, mimicking the bodys natural electrical current and equals 1/1000 of an ampere.
What is a Milliampere?
A safety device that prevents electrical wires from overheating. It contains a fine metal wire that allows current to flow through it, if it overheats, the wire will melt and cut off the flow of electricity.
What is a fuse?
An alternating current that produces a mechanical effect similar to the way that faradic current produces muscle contractions, although it penetrates deeper and can provide greater stimulation to the area.
What is Sinusoidal Current?
