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