Energy and Electricity
Across
- 2. Energy from natural sources that constantly replenish themselves, such as solar, wind, tidal, and hydroelectricity.
- 4. A measure of how much a material or component slows down the flow of electricity, measured in Ohms.
- 5. A circuit arrangement where components are connected across separate branches, providing more than one path for electricity to flow.
- 8. The total amount of energy or power used by an appliance, a household, or a society over a specific period of time.
- 10. The process of energy changing from one form to another, such as electrical energy changing into heat and light.
- 14. A form of energy resulting from the existence and movement of charged particles (such as electrons).
- 15. A scientific instrument connected in series to measure the current flowing through a specific point in a circuit.
- 17. A measure of how much useful energy you get out of a machine or system compared to the total energy you put into it.
- 19. The rate at which energy is transferred or transformed, typically measured in Watts (W).
- 20. Natural, non-renewable energy sources like coal, oil, and natural gas that formed from the remains of living organisms millions of years ago.
Down
- 1. A circuit arrangement where all components are connected one after another in a single loop, meaning there is only one path for the electricity to flow.
- 3. A machine that converts mechanical energy (movement) into electrical energy.
- 6. The scientific rule stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed within a closed system.
- 7. A scientific instrument connected in parallel to measure the voltage drop across a specific component.
- 9. Energy from sources that exist in limited supply and cannot be replaced once they are used up, such as coal or oil.
- 11. The difference in potential that provides the "push" for electricity to flow through a circuit, measured in Volts (V).
- 12. The rate of flow of electrical charge in a circuit, measured in Amps (A).
- 13. A continuous path that allows electricity to flow, which must include a power supply, conductors, and usually a load.
- 16. A material, usually a metal wire, that easily allows electrical energy to flow through it.
- 18. The ability to do work, create movement, or cause a change in a system.
