Magnets
Across
- 3. Temporary magnet made by wrapping a wire coil carrying a current, around an iron core.
- 9. A wire wrapped into a cylindrical coil.
- 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.
- 11. current that reverses its direction of flow in a regular pattern.
- 14. The properties and interactions of magnets.
Down
- 1. Process in which electric current is produced in a wire loop by a changing magnetic field.
- 2. Region on a magnet where the magnetic force exerted by a magnet is strongest; like poles repel and opposite poles attract.
- 4. A device that uses an electromagnet to measure electric current.
- 5. Group of atoms in a magnetic material with the magnetic poles of the atoms pointing in the same direction.
- 6. Surrounds a magnet and exerts a force on other magnets and objects made of magnetic materials.
- 7. Electric current that flows in only one direction.
- 8. Device that uses electromagnetic induction to increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current.
- 12. Device that use electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.
- 13. Large wheel that rotates when pushed by stream, wind, or water and provides mechanical energy to a generator.
