Electric Circuit key terms
Across
- 1. material that does not follow Ohm’s law
- 7. when the characteristics of a system do not change over time
- 10. resistance of a single resistor that is the same as the combined
- 12. when a group of resistors are connected side by side
- 14. electric charge that is moving
- 15. schematic drawing of an electrical circuit
- 16. rate at which electric energy is transferred in a circuit
- 17. electric current whose direction alternates back and forth at regular intervals
Down
- 2. material that obeys Ohm’s law
- 3. when elements in a circuit are connected one after the other
- 4. circuit element that provides a known resistance
- 5. electric current is proportional to the voltage applied across a circuit
- 6. electric current that flows in a single direction
- 8. flows in the direction that a positive charge would flow if it could move
- 9. how much a circuit element opposes the passage of electric current
- 11. unit for electric current; one ampere is one coulomb per second ( 1A=1C/s
- 13. physical network of paths through which electric current can flow
