Engineering
Across
- 1. Law: Law that defines the relationship among voltage, current, and resistance.
- 4. Engineering: Design and construction of electrical and electronic systems, components, and devices.
- 8. Circuit: Circuits that have more than one load and multiple paths for current flow.
- 9. Plane: A flat, sloped surface that connects lower and higher levels, allowing heavy objects to be moved upward with less force over a longer distance.
- 11. Law: Law that states that power equals effort multiplied by rate.
- 13. Material with low resistance that easily passes electrons from one atom to another.
- 14. Power: The technology of using a confined pressurized fluid (liquid or gas) to transmit power from a source to an actuator.
- 17. Electrical connection of two or more cells.
- 18. Electrical component used to limit current flow and divide voltage.
Down
- 2. The science of using liquid (typically oil) under pressure to transmit power.
- 3. Law: The fundamental principle stating that pressure exerted on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions, acting at right angles to the container.
- 5. A rigid bar resting on a pivot (fulcrum) used to move or lift loads with less effort.
- 6. Board: Rigid piece of insulation (typically fiberglass) used as a platform for circuitry.
- 7. A wheel with a groove for a rope or cable that changes the direction of force and reduces the force needed to lift heavy objects.
- 8. The use of gas (usually compressed air) flowing under pressure to transmit power.
- 10. Material with a very high resistance that does not allow current to flow.
- 11. Two inclined planes joined back-to-back, tapering to a thin edge, used for splitting, cutting, or holding objects.
- 12. An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder or cone, converting rotational motion into linear motion to fasten objects or raise materials.
- 15. Circuit: Circuits with only one path for current to flow from the power source through the circuit and back to the power source.
- 16. and Axle: A circular wheel fastened to a smaller central shaft that rotates together to multiply force.
