Electricity
Question | Answer |
---|---|
light, heat, chemical and magnetic changes are all produced by | electricity |
material that best transports electricity is an | conductor |
since silver and copper transmit electricity, they are called | conductors |
materials such as glass, rubber or paper around a conductor that does not allow current to pass through is called an | insulator |
which of the following materials does not allow a current to pass though it | alcohol |
an ampere is a unit of electric | strength |
how many milliamperes equal one ampere | 1,000 |
a volt is a unit of electric | pressure |
a unit of electric resistance is called | ohm |
a measure of how much electric energy is being used is known as a | watt |
a constant electric current flowing in one direction is called an | direct current |
which of the following devices breaks the flow of current when an overload occurs | circuit breaker |
which of the following of the steps should NOT be followed to break the circuit when a person comes in contact with an electric current? | touch the person to ground the circuit |
the application of special currents (or modalities) that have a variety of effects on the skin is called | electrotherapy |
a current conductor used to direct the current appliance to the clients skin is called an | electrode |
the direct current used in electrotherapy treatment is | galvanic |
the electrode that is negatively charged during an electrotherapy treatment is known as an | cathode |
what temporary effect will a negative electrode pole produce when applying galvanic current during an electrotherapy treatment | increase in blood flow |
which of the following is not a temporary effect of the positive pole of galvanic current | softens tissues |
a treatment in which sebum is broken down or blackheads are liquefied, as in deep-pore cleansing is known as | desincrustation |
when using galvanic current on clients in a salon, what precaution must a salon professional take in order to prevent injury to the client | do not use over an area having broken capillaries |
faradic current is used chiefly to cause | muscle contractions |
tesla, a high frequency current is known as the | violet ray |
high frequency and alternating current are characteristics of which type of electrotherapy | telsa |
an alternating current that can be adjusted to different voltages to produce heat | high frequency |
if the client is holding the active electrode while the salon professional manually stimulates the area being treated , what method of telsa current is being used | indirect application |
which of the following will produce a mild, stimulating sensation while using high frequency current | slightly separating the electrode from the skin |
treatment with light rays is called | light therapy |
which type of light can be broken into its individual wavelengths by a prism | combination |
which of the following has the longest wavelengths | infrared rays |
a salon owner wants to mimic natural sunlight as closely as possibly in the salon reception area, which type of light would most likely be used to accomplish this requirement? | fluorescent light |
pure heat rays are produced by | infrared rays |
which of the following is a benefit of using infrared light during a facial | increases circulation |
the average distance an infrared lamp should be places during a facial is about | 30" |
which of the following are known as actinic rays | ultraviolet |
which of the following is a benefit derived from the UV light | small doses tan the skin |
small doses of ultraviolet light may help the body produce | vitamin d |
bacteria that cause the skin infections can be killed by | ultraviolet light |
before using ultraviolet light on a client, the skin or scalp should be | cleansed |
materials that do not allow a current to pass is called an | insulator |
