In direct current or 'galvanic' electrolysis the electrons flow from the machine source, through the needle holder, and into the electrolysis needle which acts as the ______ pole

The six basic sources which can be used to produce electricity are: Friction – electricity produced by ______ two materials together. Pressure – electricity produced by applying pressure to a crystal of certain materials. Heat – electricity produced by heating the junction of a thermo-couple.

Electrolysis is defined as the decomposition of an electrolyte by the action of a direct electric current passing through it. Broadly speaking, an electrode the size of the hair (called a needle or probe) is placed into the hair follicle and used to conduct a very low current to the growing portion of the hair follicle. The current disables the growing portion of the follicle leading to its permanent destruction and the inability to produce ______.
