Magnetism
Across
- 3. device that uses electromagnetic induction to increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current
- 6. region surrounding a magnet that exerts a force on other magnets and objects made of magnetic materials.
- 7. device that uses electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy
- 11. electrical current that reverses its direction of flow in a regular pattern
- 12. group of atoms in a magnetic material in which the magnetic poles of the atoms are aligned in the same direction.
- 13. temporary magnet created when there is a current in a wire coil.
- 14. a cylindrical coil of wire, used to produce a magnetic field when an electrical current passes through the wire.
- 15. the attractive or repulsive force between electric charges and magnets
Down
- 1. a device that uses an electromagnet to measure electric current
- 2. large wheel that rotates when pushed by steam, wind, or water and provides mechanical energy to a generator
- 4. the interaction between electric charges and magnets
- 5. electric current that flows in only one direction
- 8. process by which electric current is produced in a wire loop by a changing magnetic field
- 9. region on a magnet where the magnetic force exerted by a magnet is strongest; like poles repel and opposite poles attract.
- 10. device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy by using the magnetic forces between an electromagnet and a permanent magnet to make a shaft rotate
- 12. the properties and interactions of magnets
