As a business owner, Brenda knows the importance of electrical safety. Each evening, she is the last person to leave work. Before she leaves, she makes sure that all electrical appliances are shut off and unplugged. Any that have been left plugged in, she carefully unplugs by pulling on the plug, not the cord. Every morning, Brenda arrives early to work. Before any other employees arrive, she first plugs all of the appliances back in, then carefully cleans them. Finally, she makes sure that all cords to the appliances are tucked away and not left in the middle of the room for customers and employees to trip over. What, if anything, has Brenda done wrong?

Brenda should not clean the appliances while they are plugged in.

Brenda should leave all appliance cords out in the middle of the floor so that people can see them.

Brenda should unplug the appliances by the cord, not the plug.

Jane noticed that as she was working on a client throughout the morning, the electrical extension cord from her electrical device to the outlet was getting hotter and hotter. Knowing this, which of the following is MOST likely true?

The electrical device has more volts than the outlet it is plugged into.

The electrical device has fewer volts than the outlet it is plugged into.

The extension cord’s gauge is too large to support the amperage rating of the electrical device.

Which of the following is Tesla high-frequency current used for?

decreasing elimination and absorption

Alyssa noticed that the electrical device she uses on the job has a three-pronged plug that was to be inserted into a three-pronged outlet in the wall. Since there were only two-pronged outlets in the room, however, Alyssa purchased an adapter to connect her three-pronged device into a two-pronged outlet. Why was this a bad idea?

Adapting a three-pronged plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet eliminates the intended grounding.

Adapting a three-pronged plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet switches direct current into alternating current.

Adapting a three-pronged plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet makes the conductor an inductor.

Adapting a three-pronged plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet changes the appliance’s amperage.

You are an instructor of beauty and wellness courses at a local vocational school. Ursula, a student of yours, asks you why it is so important that beauty professionals have a thorough understanding of electricity. What do you tell her?

Without an understanding of basic electricity, she will not be able to use professional electrical appliances effectively and safely.

Jeremy is having a hard time getting his electrical equipment to work properly for his clients. The technician who came in to look at the situation advised Jeremy that the current is not able to flow through the wires efficiently. Why is this MOST likely the case?

Flip the main circuit switch on the circuit breaker.

Lower the amperage of the appliances in use.

Replace the conductors in the establishment with inductors.

Rachel told you that she is pregnant.

Rachel told you that she feels she needs to increase both elimination and absorption.

Rachel told you that she has bad acne.

Rachel told you that her condition is specific to her scalp.

Klaus has noticed that, throughout the establishment, there are ground fault interrupters (GFIs) in the walls beside all sinks and in the bathrooms and the employee kitchen. Why are these types of receptacles strategically placed in these locations?

GFIs are required in places where shock hazard are likely (such as near any running or sitting water).

GFIs are most useful in salons, spas, and barbershops because when multiple appliances are in use, GFIs must be in place.

GFIs are required wherever direct current is transferred to alternate current (such as in bathrooms).

GFIs are most useful in salons, spas, and barbershops because appliances that heat up can only operate when a GFI is in place.
