Electricity
Across
- 8. a material in which charges do not flow easily because they do not have free flowing electrons.
- 10. material a material that can be magnetized because it contains magnetic domains.
- 13. a material in which charges can move easily
- 15. Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge.
- 18. flow of electricity through direct contact.
- 20. An atom or a group of atoms that has an electric charge.
- 21. surrounds every electric charge and exerts force on other electric charges
- 24. rapid movement of excess charge from one place to another
- 25. transfer of electrons through rubbing
- 26. An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
- 27. a field in a region of space that exerts magnetic forces; a field produced by magnets, by changing electric fields, or by moving charges
Down
- 1. a materials ability to allow heat or electric charges to flow
- 2. a solenoid with a ferromagnet core (a magnet made by using electricity that can be turned on and off)
- 3. the force a magnetic field exerts on a magnet, on a ferromagnetic material, or on a moving electric charge.
- 4. a region that has a large number of atoms with aligned magnetic fields
- 5. a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by the motion of a coil of wire with respect to a magnetic field
- 6. an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge.
- 7. a measure of the amount of electrical potential energy an electron flowing in a circuit can gain; measured in volts
- 9. the study of behavior of electric charges, including how charge is transferred between objects
- 11. the process of generating a current by moving an electrical conductor relative to a magnetic field
- 12. a push or pull
- 14. attractive or repulsive force exerted by all charged objects on each other.
- 16. closed conducting loop in which electric current can flow continually
- 17. a measure of how difficult it is for electrons to flow in a material; unit is the ohm.
- 19. Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.
- 22. flow of electricity without contact.
- 23. the flow of electric charge, measured in amperes
