Across
  1. 2. a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electricity.
  2. 6. one in which all circuit elements are arranged in a single path.
  3. 9. the “pressure” that pushes electricity
  4. 10. a measure of a solution's ability to conduct electricity.
  5. 11. the movement of electrons between atoms
  6. 12. the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body.
  7. 13. a measure of the amount of electric charge in motion per unit time
  8. 14. a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit
  9. 16. Materials that do not allow electricity to pass through
  10. 17. The SI derived unit used to measure the electrical resistance of a material or an electrical device.
  11. 18. an electrical component that can disconnect or connect the conducting path in an electrical circuit, interrupting the electric current or diverting it from one conductor to another.
Down
  1. 1. a property that describes the extent to which a material opposes the flow of electric current through it
  2. 3. The SI derived unit used to measure electric potential at a given point, usually a point in an electric circuit.
  3. 4. A strip or wire of metal inserted in an electric circuit, which melts (or 'blows') and so interrupts the circuit when the current increases beyond a certain safe strength
  4. 5. a graphical representation of an electrical circuit.
  5. 7. the materials or substances which allow electricity to flow through them.
  6. 8. an electrical path that branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch
  7. 12. a closed loop that electrons can travel in
  8. 15. a flow of electrical charge carriers, usually electrons or electron-deficient atoms
  9. 17. the electric current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
