AB Modern  surgery  has  been  enhanced  by  powered  instruments  that  have  revolutionized  the  delicacy,  precision,  and  accuracy  of  operations.  Yet  many  people  who  use  these  implements  every  day  have  very  little  understanding  of  the  technology  behind  them.  Although  a  complete  treatise  on  the  electromagnetic  generation  of  heat  and  the  physics  of  current  generation  are  beyond  the  scope  of  this  chapter  (and  are  available  elsewhere),  understanding  some  fundamental  rules  governing  the  behavior  of  electrical  currents  and  some  relatively  straightforward  principles  helps  guide  the  use  of  these  technologies.
