electro-, electr-, electri-
(Greek > Latin: electric, electricity; from amber, resembling amber, generated from amber which when rubbed vigorously [as by friction], produced the effect of static electricity)
Electronics in our lives consists of numerous tools
Equipment which we use everyday relies on electronics to function including calculators, car controls, cameras, washing machines, medical scanners, mobile telephones, radar systems, computers; as well as many other applications or devices which are listed in this unit.
The thalamus relays sensory information to the cerebral cortex, the thinking and reasoning part of the brain, and the part that receives information from the senses, directs the conscious movements of the body, and regulates the perception of touch, pain, and temperature.
The three types are direct monophasic, alternating biphasic, and pulsed polyphasic electric current.
2. The treatment of disease by electrical shock and other techniques using electricity.
2. A health-care provider who has specific training and experience in the therapeutic uses of electricity.
2. Someone who specializes in the treatment of disease by electricity.
2. The use of low-intensity electricity to treat insomnia, anxiety, or neurotic depression.
3. Using an electrode with a point or surface from which to discharge current to treat the body of a patient.
4. Applying electric current to the body for massage or heat treatment.
2. An electric blanket containing resistance heaters for heating body tissue and relieving pain.
3. A reference to the production of heat from electricity.
4. An apparatus that generates heat electrically for application to the surface of a body to relieve pain.
2. A reference to an electric blanket containing resistance heaters for heating tissue and relieving pain.
3. A reference to both heat and electricity; in particular, pertaining to the conversion of electrical energy into heat energy.
4. The heating effect of electric current, or the electric current produced by heat.
It is used primarily for measuring radio-frequency currents.
2. The direct conversion of electric energy into heat energy, as in an electric heater.
2. Used to generate higher temperatures than can be produced by combustion processes.
3. Any process that uses an electric current to generate heat, utilizing resistance, arcs, or induction.
It is used to achieve temperatures higher than those which can be obtained by combustion methods.
