Electricity & Magnetism Crossword
Across
- 3. A device that uses electromagnetic induction to induce electrical current by rotating loops of wire through a magnetic field.
- 5. Is the property of some materials in which there is a force of repulsion or attraction between certain like and unlike poles
- 7. The two ends of a piece of magnetic material where the strongest magnetic forces are labeled the north pole and the south pole.
- 9. Push or pull on an object.
- 10. A type of fan that is moved by steam in a power plant to generate electricity.
- 11. Transfer of energy to move a force to move an object
- 12. A coil of wire with a current that acts as a bar magnet.
- 15. The region around a magnet where magnetic forces act.
- 16. A difference in electrical potential, measured in volts with a voltmeter.
- 17. An electrical circuit where the current has only one path. If the path is interrupted at any point, it stops the circuit's current flow.
- 19. The turn in a coil that helps to reinforce a magnetic field.
- 21. A device that can increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current.
- 23. A shape of wire that can be used to reinforce a current to increase the magnetic field surrounding it.
- 24. Energy is an object that has due its position.
- 25. A device that contains a rotating electromagnet that changes electrical energy to mechanical energy.
- 26. An area surrounding an electron that exerts a force on anything nearby with the electric charge; strongest nearest the electron and weakens with distance.
Down
- 1. An electrical circuit where the current flows through more than one path. If one path is interrupted, the current will still flow through the other paths.
- 2. A force produced when magnetic poles interact.
- 4. Energy an object has due to motion.
- 6. A material that allows electrons to move easily through it.
- 8. The relationship between electricity and magnetism.
- 13. Transverse waves that transfer energy by radiation; vary in length from very long radio waves to extremely short gamma waves.
- 14. The opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor; measured in ohms.
- 18. A material that does not allow heat or electrons to move through it easily.
- 20. Any material that attracts iron or other materials that contain iron.
- 22. A metal often used in electric circuits because it is a goo conductor of electricity.
