Electricity & Magnestism
Across
- 2. Study of electric charges at rest.
- 6. Amount of electrical potential energy that each unit of electric charge has. Also called potential difference. Measured in volts (V).
- 7. Buildup of electrical charge, either positive or negative, on the surface of an insulating material.
- 9. Force exerted on an object in a magnetic field.
- 10. Device that transforms or converts chemical energy into electrical energy or electric current.
- 11. Attraction or repulsion between two charged objects is inversely related to the square of the distance between them and directly related to the magnitude of each of the charges.
- 12. Scientific instrument used to detect charged objects.
- 13. Opposition that a conducting material or device offers to resist the flow of current. Measured in ohms.
Down
- 1. Flow of electric current through a conductor, such as a wire.
- 3. unit of electric current, equivalent to one coulomb of charge per second.
- 4. Condition of a system that describes opposing physical characteristics.
- 5. Instrument to measure the voltage, or potential difference, across one or more components of a closed circuit.
- 8. Electrical device that has a complete or continuous path that electricity can flow through.
