1. law Electric current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance
3. current An electric current flowing in one direction only.
5. Flow or stream in which water or electricity can flow
8. One who is in charge of a railroad train, bus, or streetcar
10. A safety device consisting of a strip of wire that melts and breaks an electric circuit if the current exceeds a safe level.
11. multimeter A piece of test equipment used for measuring voltage, current, resistance, and possibly other electrical quantities and displaying the value in number form.
12. source Is a device that supplies electric power to an electrical load
14. A form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current.
15. circuit A closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit

2. circuit A circuit having its parts connected serially
4. A weight or source of pressure borne by someone or something.
5. breakers An automatic device for stopping the flow of current in an electric circuit as a safety measure.
6. A base or root of something
7. drop A decrease in voltage along a conductor through which current is flowing
9. The refusal to accept or comply with something; the attempt to prevent something by action
13. current An electric current that reverses its direction many times a second at regular intervals
