Some of the programs I've been looking into emphasize that it is either "terminal" or "non-terminal." What are they talking about!?
I asked one of my Prof's and they said they didn't know.

Terminal just means it is not designed for those who want to go on for a higher degree. Therefore, all PhDs are terminal.
Most master's degrees are not terminal -- since you can go on for a PhD. However, many professional degrees are designed to be the last degree you get. These include MBA, JD, MD and many engineering degrees.
Just because you have a terminal degree doesn't mean you can't go on in a different (possibly related) field. I got a PhD after getting my MBA. Some MDs go on for a higher degree and get a PhD.

Terminal is the last degree in that particular major. You can get a MA in Spanish but that's non-terminal; the terminal degree for Spanish is PhD.
But it's different for each country. USA's terminal degree for Fine Art is MFA; whereas in England, there exists a PhD in Fine Arts.

The relationship between electromotive force E and the potential the difference between its ends U is E=RI+rI=U+rI (1) where R is the external resistance, r the internal resistance and I the current in the closed electric circuit and U=RI is by definition the potential difference between the terminals. From (1) you obtain U=(E-rI) (2) showing that U decreses when more current is drawn and that U=E when no current is drawn.
