Basics of Electricity - Bonny Toennis
Across
- 5. Circuit - one in which all circuit elements are arranged in a single path
- 7. Circuit - an electrical path that branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch
- 10. - any device used to interrupt the flow of electrons in a circuit
- 11. - a measure of a solution's ability to conduct electricity
- 12. - the materials or substances which allow electricity to flow through them
- 14. - Materials that do not allow electricity to pass through them
- 15. - the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body
- 16. - the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light
- 17. – a source of electrical power
- 19. Law - states the relationship between electric current and potential difference
Down
- 1. - a property that describes the extent to which a material opposes the flow of electric current through it
- 2. - the rate at which electrons flow past a point in a complete electrical circuit
- 3. - The SI derived unit used to measure electric potential at a given point, usually a point in an electric circuit
- 4. - a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit
- 6. - the movement of electrons between atoms
- 8. - a closed loop that electrons can travel in
- 9. - The SI derived unit used to measure the electrical resistance of a material or an electrical device
- 12. Diagram - a graphical representation of an electrical circuit
- 13. - A strip or wire of metal inserted in an electric circuit, which melts and so interrupts the circuit when the current increases beyond a certain safe strength
- 18. – a unit of electrical current
