Chapter 3 - Electrical Quantities and Ohm's Law
Across
- 5. The element of an electric circuit that can limit the flow of current by producing heat.
- 8. Generally the bare or green wire used to establish a low resistance path to ground.
- 10. The force known as voltage that pushes the electrons through an electric circuit.
- 12. A quantity measure of electrons that equals 6.25 x 1018 electrons
- 14. A common measure of power in which the base is established at 550 pound feet per second; in electrical quantities, 746 watts equals one of these units.
- 16. The ability to do work; in an electric circuit, it is generally measured in watts.
Down
- 1. A metric measure of power similar to the English measure watt.
- 2. A power measurement that describes the amount of electrical energy converted to some other form.
- 3. The total current limiting effect in an electric circuit; this is measured in ohms.
- 4. The theory stating that electricity flows from the more neagtive power source to the more positive power source.
- 6. A conductor is generally grounded and is a common connection to other parts of a circuit.
- 7. The amount of heat necessary to change the temperature of one pound of water one degree Farenheit.
- 9. A measure of electric current defined as one coulomb per second.
- 11. An electric circuit that exists from the more negative to the more postive voltage.
- 13. A measure of EMF often described as electrical pressure.
- 15. The unit of measure used to describe the resistance to the flow of electric current.
