Electrolysis using alternating current for heat

Electrolysis using alternating current for heat

• A. Direct Electrolysis
• B. Galvanic Electrolysis
• C. Thermolysis Electrolysis
• D. Electrolytic Heating

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that heat-based hair destruction in electrolysis is produced by alternating current. In thermolysis electrolysis, a high-frequency alternating current is applied to the follicle, rapidly heating the tissue and coagulating the hair-producing cells to destroy the root. This contrasts with direct current methods, where a chemical reaction (not heat) from the DC flow creates a caustic environment that dissolves hair. While “electrolytic heating” could describe heating from electricity, the standard term for the heat-based method used in practice is thermolysis electrolysis, making it the correct choice.
