Electrical - AC Fundamentals
Across
- 3. The property of a circuit or component that opposes a change in current, measured in Henrys (H).
- 5. The ability of a system to store charge, measured in Farads (F).
- 10. The total opposition to current flow in an AC circuit, including both resistance and reactance, measured in Ohms (Ω).
- 11. Current that reverses direction periodically.
- 12. The number of cycles per second of a waveform, measured in Hertz (Hz).
- 13. Wave - The most basic form of an AC waveform, characterized by its smooth periodic oscillations.
- 14. The ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit. (Two words)
- 15. A statistical measure of the magnitude of a varying quantity, often used to calculate the effective voltage or current.
Down
- 1. The opposition to the change in current by an inductor or capacitor in an AC circuit.
- 2. An instrument used to visualize the shape of an electrical waveform.
- 4. A device that changes the voltage of an AC supply.
- 6. The maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
- 7. Multiples of the fundamental frequency present in a waveform, contributing to distortion.
- 8. A device that converts AC to DC.
- 9. The relative position of a point in time on a waveform cycle.
