Physical Science 101: Inspired by Mr. Pugh
Across
- 3. Unit used to measure current
- 6. The man who discovered and proved that electricity could flow through circuits (not very social or open about his work)
- 8. Tiny particles with negative charge, flow on the outside of an atom
- 9. A circuit with only one path. Example: Christmas lights, Alarm systems
- 11. The push that moves energy through a current. Measured in volts
- 13. The buildup of excess electrons (negative) or deficiency of electrons (positive) on a surface. Example: Balloon + hair sticking up
- 15. The flow of electricity. Measured in amps
- 16. Units used to measure resistance
- 17. Material that does not let electricity flow easily
- 18. A device that opens or closes a circuit
- 19. Materials that let electricity flow easily
Down
- 1. Devices that store and supply energy
- 2. A circuit with more than one path. Example: wires in a house
- 4. Something that slows down the current
- 5. The rate at which energy is transfered
- 7. The flow of electric charge
- 10. The ability to do work
- 11. Unit used to measure voltage
- 12. A complete, closed path or network through which electric current flows
- 14. reduces current flow
