The high frequency current commonly used in the barbershop is the:

  1. Galvanic current

  2. Direct current

  3. Sinusoidal current

  4. Tesla current

The correct answer is: Tesla current

Tesla current, also known as high frequency current, is the most commonly used current in a barbershop because it produces a high frequency vibration that is ideal for cutting hair. Galvanic current (A) is a direct current that is used for electrolysis and skincare treatments, making it unsuitable for hair cutting. Similarly, direct current (B) is not ideal for hair cutting as it produces a continuous flow of electricity. Sinusoidal current (C) is an alternating current used for medical treatments and is not suitable for hair cutting.
