Ch.12: The Basics of Electricity
Across
- 2. the distance between two successive peaks.
- 6. the light that gel enhancements use.
- 7. any substance that easily allows the flow of electricity with little resistance.
- 9. a unit that measures the resistance of an electric circuit.
- 10. the movement of electrons from one atom to another along a conductor.
- 11. the unit that measures the number of electrons that flow through a complete electric circuit.
- 12. the flow of electricity in a complete circuit.
- 14. a resettable electrical safety device that automatically shuts off an electric current at the first indication of an overload or short circuit.
- 16. the unit that measure the pressure or force that pushes the flow of electrons forward through a complete electric circuit.
- 17. completes an electrical circuit and carries the current safely away.
- 18. a measurement of how much electricity is being used in one second.
Down
- 1. a substance that does not easily all the flow of electricity.
- 3. one-thousandth of an ampere.
- 4. a constant even-flowing current that only travels in one direction.
- 5. a rapid and interrupted current, flowing first in one direction and then in the opposite direction.
- 8. speeds up a chemical reaction and is used to make chemical reactions happen more quickly.
- 13. 1,000 watts
- 15. a single use safety device designed to provide protection from an electrical overload to short circuit.
