Electricity Vocabulary
Across
- 1. the electromotive force difference expressed in volts
- 4. energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds
- 5. the unit used to measure eclectic current
- 6. an instrument used for measuring amperes
- 9. compromises the branch so that the circuit divides and only part of it flows through any branch
- 13. a variable that doesn't depend of that on another
- 16. a picture that represents the components of a process
- 17. electrical circuit that is not complete
- 19. the SI unit of electromotive force, the difference of potential that would drive one ampere of current against one ohm resistance
- 20. a device designed to introduce resistance into an electric circuit
- 21. a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to an electrical energy
- 22. a substance or material that allows electricity to flow through
- 24. a calibrated instrument used for measuring the potential difference between two points
- 25. all variables other than the independent variable are controlled or held constant so they don't influence the dependent variable
Down
- 2. is the capacity for doing work
- 3. a circuit that is fully complete
- 7. a piece of steel or iron that attracts certain substances such as iron
- 8. all components are connected end-to-end to form a single path for the current to flow
- 10. a flow of electrical charge carriers
- 11. a variable that depends of that on another
- 12. time or rate of doing work or delivering energy
- 14. the science of dealing with electrical charges and currents
- 15. the energy generated by the movement of electrons from one point to another
- 18. a device for measuring electromotive force or potential difference by comparison with a known voltage
- 23. the law that for any circuit the electrical current is directly proportional to the voltage and is inversely proportional to the resistance
