Ch. 7 - Electricity
Across
- 2. completes an electrical circuit and carries the current safely away.
- 3. unit that measures how much electric energy is being used in one second.
- 6. constant and direct current, having a positive and negative pole, that produces chemical changes when it passes through the tissues and fluids of the body.
- 8. unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes electric current forward through a conductor.
- 9. unit that measures the strength of an electric current
- 10. any material that conducts electricity
- 13. unit that measures the resistance of an electrical current
- 16. rapid and interrupting current, flowing first in one direction and then in the opposite direction; produced by mechanical means and changes directions 60 times per second.
- 17. also know as probe; applicator for directing electric current from an electrotherapy device into the client’s skin.
- 18. invisible light with longer wavelengths, deeper penetration, less energy, and more heat production than visible light; makes up 60% of natural sunlight.
- 19. Constant, even flowing Current that travels in one direction only and is produced by chemical means.
- 20. process of infusing water-soluble products into the skin with the use of electric, such as the use of positive and negative poles of a galvanic machine.
Down
- 1. currents used in electrical facial and scalp treatments
- 4. substance that speeds up chemical reactions
- 5. positive electrode of an electrotherapy device; usually red and marked with a P or (+) sign.
- 7. negative electrode of an electrotherapy device; usually black and marked with an N or (-) sign.
- 11. also known as insulator; a material that does not transmit electricity
- 12. invisible light that has a short wavelength, is less penetrating than visible light, causes chemical reactions to happen more quickly than visible light, produces less heat than visible light, and kills germs.
- 14. an extremely low level of electricity that mirrors the body’s natural electrical impulses
- 15. switch that automatically interrupts or shuts off an electric circuit at the first indication of overload.
