10 Questions
What type of tissues produce the most heat when exposed to an electrical field?
Adipose tissue
In the Dipole effect, how do dipole molecules react when exposed to an electrical field?
They randomly rotate
What determines the number of times dipole molecules rotate per second in tissues exposed to an electrical field?
The frequency of the current
Which type of field generator produces the greatest amount of heat within the muscle layer directly beneath the coil?
Induction field generators
What is a Dipole in terms of electrical charges?
A pair of equal and opposite charges separated by a distance
Which type of tissue is selectively heated by Capacitive field generators according to the text?
Adipose tissue
What characterizes a conductor in terms of its ability to transmit electricity?
Relatively little resistance to electrical flow
How is kinetic energy converted within tissues when exposed to an electrical field?
It is released as heat
Which type of molecules rotate in tissues when exposed to an electrical field?
Dipole molecules
What is the main factor determining the heating effect on adipose tissue by Capacitive field generators?
The frequency of the current
Learn about the generation of electromagnetic fields through high-frequency alternating current in induction field diathermy. Understand how these fields selectively heat muscular tissue over adipose tissue.
