Electrical vocabulary
Across
- 2. an electrical component or portion of a circuit that consumes electric power.
- 3. a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow.
- 8. a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit.
- 12. Circuit a closed circuit in which the current follows one path
- 14. production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor due to its dynamic interaction with a magnetic field.
- 17. a unit of electric current equal to a flow of one coulomb per second.
- 19. a flow of electricity which results from the ordered directional movement of electrically charged particles.
Down
- 1. the presence and flow of electric charge.
- 4. the Standard International (SI) unit of electric potential or electromotive force.
- 5. useful power output divided by the total electrical power consumed
- 6. when a force applied to an object moves the object in the same direction as the force
- 7. electric potential energy per unit charge
- 9. energy that is caused by moving electric charges.
- 10. A material or an object that can conduct heat, electricity, light, or sound.
- 11. states that V = IR, where V is the voltage difference, I is the current in amperes, and R is the resistance in ohms.
- 13. The capacity or power to do work
- 15. an electrical quantity that measures how the device or material reduces the electric current flow through it.
- 16. standard unit for measuring the electrical resistance of a material or an electrical device
- 18. the rate, per unit time, at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit.
