CME Electricity & Physics Principles in Electrology

Question 1

What type of electrical current is used in galvanic electrolysis?

Accepted Answer

Direct current (DC)

Answer

Galvanic electrolysis uses direct current (DC), which flows in one direction to produce a chemical reaction that destroys the hair follicle.

Question 2

Which unit of measurement is used to quantify the intensity of current delivered during electrolysis treatment?

Accepted Answer

Milliampere (mA)

Answer

Electrical current in electrolysis is measured in milliamperes (mA) because the currents involved are very small fractions of an ampere.

Question 3

In thermolysis (shortwave diathermy), what mechanism destroys the hair follicle?

Accepted Answer

Heat generated by high-frequency alternating current

Answer

Thermolysis uses high-frequency alternating current to cause water molecules in the follicle to vibrate and generate heat, thermally destroying the follicle.

Question 4

Ohm's Law states that voltage equals current multiplied by:

Accepted Answer

Resistance

Answer

Ohm's Law is expressed as V = I × R, meaning voltage equals current multiplied by resistance, describing the relationship between these three electrical quantities.

Question 5

The blend method in electrolysis simultaneously combines which two modalities?

Accepted Answer

Galvanic current and thermolysis

Answer

The blend method uses both galvanic (DC) and thermolysis (high-frequency AC) currents simultaneously, enhancing lye production and speeding follicle destruction.
