Front

Two types of electricity?

Back

Static/Frictional

Front

3 types of currents?

Back

Direct current

Alternating current

Pulsed current

Front

Direct current?

Back

steady/continuous, unidirectional flow of electrons btw anode/cathode of a battery

Front

Alternating current?

Back

Continuous flow of electrons that rhythmically change direction. (two terminals turn + to -)

Front

Pulsed current?

Back

uni or bidirectional flow of ions/electron the stop for a period of time until next electrical event

Front

Conductors?

Back

ions or electrons move freely (muscles, nerves, bodily fluids)

Front

insulator?

Back

charged particles do not move freely (fat)

Front

Terminal?

Back

device of a battery or generator

Front

Positive terminal

Back

current leaves the battery to enter the body

Front

negative terminal

Back

current enters the battery from the body
