Across
- 6. A measure of the resistance of a material to the flow of an electrical current.
- 7. The use of 1000 watts per hour.
- 8. Form of energy that can produce light, heat, magnetism, and chemical changes.
- 11. A standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment.
- 12. Any material that will permit an electron to move through it.
- 13. Any tendency of a material to prevent electrical flow.
- 16. A measure of electrical pressure.
Down
- 1. An electrical source and wires connected to an electrical device.
- 2. A condition that occurs when electricity flows back to its source to rapidly and trips fuses, burns wires, and drains batteries.
- 3. A measure of energy available or work that can be done using one ampere at one volt.
- 4. A measure of the rate of flow of a current in a conductor.
- 5. The process of making an electrical connection between a circuit, electricity-using device, or other electricity source to the earth to reduce the chance of shock and damage.
- 9. A switch that trips and breaks the circuit when more than a specified amount of current passes through it.
- 10. Loss of voltage as electricity travels through a wire.
- 14. Material that provides great resistance to the flow of electricity.
- 15. Protective tube with individual insulated wires running through it.
