  1. 3. negatively charged subatomic particle which orbits the atom’s nucleus
  2. 5. Effect building of electric charge generated by friction
  3. 6. movement of electrons carrying energy
  4. 11. scientific principle explaining the relationships among voltage, resistance and current in a conductor; expressed as Volts = Amps x Ohms, Amps = Volts/Ohms or Ohms = Volts/Amps
  5. 12. unit of measurement for electric charge; one coulomb is 6.24 x 1018 electrons
  6. 14. opposition to the flow of an electrical current
  7. 15. maximum power requirements of a system at any given time
  8. 16. physical property allowing a material to resist the flow of electricity
  9. 17. capacity to transmit something, for example electricity or heat
  10. 19. quantity of electricity
  11. 20. unit of measurement for electromotive force
Down
  1. 1. rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit
  2. 2. amount of current a conductor can handle before its temperature exceeds accepted limits, causing it to deteriorate
  3. 3. flow of electric charge
  4. 4. closed path in which electric current flows
  5. 7. ratio of true power used to do work to apparent power supplied to the circuit
  6. 8. unit of measurement for electrical resistance
  7. 9. unit of measurement for electric current; one coulomb per second equals one ampere; often abbreviated to ‘amp’
  8. 10. pressure(energy) put on free electrons causing them to flow
  9. 13. electricity which is not moving; caused by the triboelectric effect
  10. 18. unit of measurement for electric power
