Electricity
Across
- 7. A material (usually metal) that allows electricity to flow easily.
- 8. A device that opens or closes a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.
- 11. Energy Heat energy produced when electricity flows through materials with resistance.
- 12. Tiny negatively charged particles that move to create an electric current.
- 14. A device used to measure the amount of current flowing in a circuit.
- 16. A power source that uses chemical reactions to produce an electric current.
- 17. The rate at which electrical energy is used or changed into another form (measured in watts).
- 18. Circuit A circuit that has multiple paths for electricity to flow.
- 19. Energy Stored energy in a battery that is released as electrical energy.
Down
- 1. A closed loop or complete pathway that allows electrical energy to flow.
- 2. A component that slows down or opposes the flow of electrical current.
- 3. A metal that is an excellent conductor, commonly used in electrical wiring.
- 4. The energy or “push” that moves charged particles through a circuit.
- 5. The flow of charged particles (electrons) past a point in a circuit each second.
- 6. A material that blocks the flow of electricity and helps keep people safe.
- 9. The ability to do work; it can be transferred or transformed but not created or destroyed.
- 10. Circuit A circuit where components are connected in a single path, one after another.
- 13. A material used as an insulator to safely cover wires.
- 15. Energy The energy of motion, such as when electricity powers a fan or motor.
- 20. A device (like a light bulb or motor) that uses electrical energy to do work.
