Milady Standard Barber Chapter 8
Questions and Verified Answers
electric current - SOLUTION -the flow of electricity along a conductor
conductor - SOLUTION -Any substance, material, or medium that easily transmits
electricity.
Insulator - SOLUTION -a substance that does not easily transmit electricity
complete electric circuit - SOLUTION -The path of negative and positive electric
currents moving from the generating source through the conductors and back to the
generating source.
direct current (dc) - SOLUTION -Constant, even-flowing current that travels in one
direction only and is produced by chemical reaction.
Alternating Current (AC) - SOLUTION -rapid and interrupted current, flowing first in one
direction and then in the opposite direction
Converter - SOLUTION -apparatus that changes direct current to alternating current (dc
to ac)
Rectifier - SOLUTION -Apparatus that changes alternating current to direct current (ac
to dc)
Rheostat - SOLUTION -a adjustable resistor that is used for controlling the current in
the circuit
, Volt - SOLUTION -unit that measures electrical pressure, witch pushes the flow of
electrons forward through the conductor, similar to the way water pressure pushes
water molecules through the hose.
amp - SOLUTION -in a standard unit for measuring strength or rate of an electric
current in the conductor.
Ohm - SOLUTION -unit of electrical resistance
Watt - SOLUTION -A unit of power indicates how much electric energy is used per 1
second
Kilowatt - SOLUTION -1,000 watts the electricity in a house is measured in kilowatt-
hours
fuse - SOLUTION -a softy device that prevents the overheating of electrical wires by
preventing excessive current from passing through a circuit.
circuit breaker - SOLUTION -switch that automatically interrupts or shuts off an electric
circuit at the first indication of overload
ground fault interrupter - SOLUTION -is an outlet that senses imbalances within an
electric circuit. also know as a GFI
Electrotherapy - SOLUTION -Electrical facial and scalp treatments
Modalities - SOLUTION -The different types of electric currents are used for facial and
scalp treatments
