AMPERAGE:

♦ electric current means, depending on the context, a flow of electric charge (a phenomenon) or the rate of flow of electric charge (a quantity). This flowing electric charge is typically carried by moving electrons, in a conductor such as wire; in an electrolyte, it is instead carried by ions, and, in a plasma, by both. (TOP) 

CONDUCT/CONDUCTOR:

♦ all conductors contain electric charges which will move when an electric potential difference (measured in volts) is applied across separate points on the material.

♦ basically, the metal probes on the stun device allows electrical current to flow from the device into the person. (TOP)

DISORIENTATION:

♦ inability to focus attention; confusion. (TOP)

ELECTRIC PROBES:

♦ metal probes on a stun device that is used to deliver the electric current to the assailant. (TOP)

ELECTROSHOCK WEAPON:

♦ An electroshock weapon is an incapacitant weapon used for subduing a person by administering electric shock aimed at disrupting superficial muscle functions. (TOP)

EQUILIBRIUM:

♦ a state of rest or balance due to the equal action of opposing forces.

♦ equal balance between any powers, influences, etc.; equality of effect.

♦ mental or emotional balance; equanimity: The pressures of the situation caused her to lose her equilibrium. (TOP)

INCAPACITATE:

♦ to deprive of ability, qualification, or strength; make incapable or unfit; disable. (TOP)

mA:

♦ a unit of electric current equal to one thousandth of an ampere. (TOP)

NERVOUS SYSTEM:

♦ the system of nerves and nerve centers in an animal or human, including the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and ganglia. (TOP)

PROHIBIT:

♦ to forbid (an action, activity, etc.) by authority or law.

♦ to forbid the action of (a person).

♦ to prevent; hinder. (TOP)

STUN BATON:

♦ a battery-powered weapon designed to disable a victim temporarily by delivering a nonlethal high-voltage electric shock when held against a person and activated by a trigger or button.

♦ a stun baton varies from a stun gun basically by being larger and longer in size (with some being expandable in length) and allows the person to be immobilized at a slightly greater distance away. (TOP)

STUN GUN:

♦ a battery-powered, hand-held weapon that fires an electric charge when held against a person and activated by a trigger or button, used, esp. by police, to immobilize a person briefly and without injury.

♦ any of various hand-held weapons that shoot small pellet-filled bags, tranquilizer darts, darts attached to electric wires, or the like to immobilize a person or animal briefly and without injury. (TOP)

STUNNED:

♦ to deprive of consciousness or strength by or as if by a blow, fall, etc. (TOP)

TASER:

♦ a brand name for a gun like device that uses propelled wires or direct contact to electrically stun and incapacitate a person temporarily. (TOP)

 VOLTAGE:

♦ The voltage between two points is a short name for the electrical force that would drive an electric current between those points. (TOP)
