Study Notes
Electric Current and Circuits
- Electric current is the flow of electricity along a conductor.
- A complete electric circuit is the path of an electric current from the generating source through the conductor and back to its original source.
Measuring Electric Current
- The standard unit for measuring the strength of an electric current is the Ampere (A) or amp.
Types of Electric Current
- Alternating Current (AC) is a rapid and interrupted current that flows first in one direction and then the opposite direction.
- Direct Current (DC) is a constant current that travels in one direction only and produces a chemical reaction.
Electrodes
- An anode is a positive electrode.
- A cathode is a negative electrode.
Electrical Processes
- Anaphrosis is the process of forcing substances into tissues using galvanic current from the negative toward the positive pole.
- Cataphoresis is the process of forcing acidic substances into tissues using galvanic current from the positive toward the negative pole.
- Desincrustation is the process used to soften and emulsify oil and blackheads in the hair.
Electrical Devices
- A converter is an apparatus that changes DC to AC.
- A circuit breaker is a switch that automatically interrupts or shuts off an electric circuit at the first sign of overload.

Electric Conductors
- A conductor is any substance, medium, or material that conducts electricity.
Types of Electric Current
- Alternating current (AC) is a type of electric current that rapidly and intermittently changes direction, flowing first in one direction and then the opposite direction.
- Direct current (DC) is a type of electric current that flows in one direction only, producing a chemical reaction.
Anaphoresis
- Anaphoresis is a process that uses galvanic current to force substances into tissues.
- In anaphoresis, the galvanic current flows from the negative pole towards the positive pole.
- This process is used to introduce substances into tissues.
Electric Current Basics
