It's in the word. Bi = two, so bipolar means two poles. In the case of Bipolar disorder, these are depression and mania/hypomania. Uni = one, so unipolar means one pole. Unipolar is generally used to describe depression on its own, without mania.
"unipolar means one polar, so you have one side, either happy or depressed, and bipolar is when you change between the two"
Actually, as it relates to mental health, Unipolar disorder (also known as major depression) refers to the low end of the spectrum only (depression only). Bipolar disorder is used to refer to conditions of either only mania (elevated mood) or to the condition of depression with the occurrence of one or more episodes of mania. Mania, in this sense, refers to the occurrence of an abnormal and persistent elevated, expansive, or irritable mood (the elevated mood of mania may be euphoric or unusually cheerful often with unceasing and indiscriminate enthusiasm for occupational, sexual, or interpersonal interactions). The alternation between euphoria and irritability is also common.
Unipolar mania is a term sometimes used to describe only the presence of a manic condition without the presence of a depressive episode.
Unipolar disorder (the most common use of "unipolar") refers to major depression only.
The difference between bipolar and unipolar:
Bipolar: Alternating between deep depression and extreme elation
Unipolar: Major depressive episode that occurs without the manic phase
I know this is pretty basic if you need further information I'd be happy to help!
Bipolar disorder is when a person has high energy periods called hypomania, mania and at other times the person has low energy periods called depression. When the person has only one of the two, like depression it is unipolar,
diode is unipolar
no. its unipolar
no they are multipolar.
?!
I believe that a unipolar lead is one with a single lead while a bipolar lead is one with multiple or 2 or more leads.
Anaxonic, unipolar, bipolar or multipolar
Bipolar depression refers to frequent mood changes between depression and mania, the focal point of Unipolar depression is the negative emotions and feelings that an affected individual experiences. The unipolar indicates that the depression does not alter between the two mood states.

The efficiency of a bipolar stepper motor compared to a unipolar motor has to be determined by the individual. If you are using the motor in a high speed situation, the unipolar motor is more efficient in those situations. For lower speed situations, the bipolar stepper motor is more efficient. Unipolar motors will have less torque at lower speeds, while bipolar motors will have less torque at higher speeds. A full explanation with diagrams is available on the website: http://www.nmbtc.com/step-motors/engineering/drivers-and-winding-configuration.html
The sensory neurons in our body have different shapes but most are unipolar-shaped. Neurons can either be unipolar-, bipolar- or multiparty-shaped depending on their function.

Unipolar is more common, it's also known as clinical depression or Major Depressive Disorder. Bipolar (specifically Bipolar 1) is much more severe, although both disorders may become severe, Unipolar is still more common.
