- 4Both can be used figuratively to describe a trajectory or path.
What is the difference?
- 1Type of energy: Fulguration involves electric current, while arc involves electrical discharge.
- 2Purpose: Fulguration is a medical procedure used to destroy tissue, while arc has various applications such as welding or lighting.
- 3Shape: Fulguration does not necessarily imply a curved shape, while arc specifically refers to a curved shape or form.
- 4Intensity: Fulguration implies a sudden and intense flash, while arc can be more gradual or sustained.
- 5Connotation: Fulguration is associated with medical procedures and rhetorical devices, while arc is more commonly used in technical or scientific contexts.
Remember this!
Fulguration and arc are both words that involve some form of energy or discharge. However, the difference between the two is their type of energy, purpose, shape, intensity, and connotation. Fulguration involves electric current and is used in medical procedures or rhetorical devices, while arc involves electrical discharge and has various technical applications. Additionally, fulguration does not necessarily imply a curved shape, while arc specifically refers to a curved shape or form.
