Foundations Of Electricity Ans Programming Basics Flashcards
In your own words, explain why it’s important for you to have basic understanding of electricity 101:
Book
Anode
A positive charged electrode
Cathode
A negative charged electrode
Amplitude
The strength of the pulse, measured in volts (v) or milliAmps (mA)
Pulse width
The length of time that a particular pulse is delivered, measured in microseconds (us)
Rate
The frequency at which pulses are delivered, measured in pulses per second (pps) or Hertz (Hz)
In your own words, what is Ohm’s Law and how is it relevant to neurostimulation?

Voltage, currently, resistance
A power source (ie battery) provides ____ to push electrons through a conductor (wire or lead)
Current
What needs to increase (or impedance) measured?
Ohms
What is the definition of an open circuit?
An incomplete path that interrupts the flow of electrons
What is the formula for Ohm’s Law?
V=IxR
___________ stimulation is recommended, as _________ stimulation can potentially cause “pocket stimulation”
