  3. 9. Any material that attracts iron or materials containing iron
  4. 13. A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
  5. 16. A force of attraction between object that is due to their masses
  6. 17. A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
  7. 19. The energy that an object has because of the position, condition, or chemical composition of the object
  8. 20. Relating to the interrelation of electric currents or fields and magnetic fields
  9. 22. A material in which charges can move freely
  10. 24. The motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on the body
  11. 25. The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object
  12. 27. One of 2 points, such as the ends of a magnet, that have opposing magnetic qualities
  13. 29. The energy of an object that is due to the objectś motion
Down
  1. 1. The force that opposes the movement of 2 surfaces that are in contact and are moving over each other
  2. 2. The process of creating a current in a circuit by changing a magnetic field
  3. 3. The force that resists the start of sliding motion between 2 surfaces that are in contact and at rest
  4. 5. The combination of all of the forces acting on an object
  5. 6. The interaction between electricity and magnetism
  6. 7. Electric charge at rest; generally produced by friction or induction
  7. 10. Any region in which a physical force has an effect
  8. 11. A coil of wire with an electric current in it
  9. 12. The path that a body follows as it travels around another body in space
  10. 14. A material in which charges cannot move freely
  11. 15. The force of attraction or repulsion generated by moving or spinning electric currents
  12. 18. A fundamental property that leads to the electromagnetic interactions among particles that make up matter
  13. 21. An element or compound that conducts electric current better than an insulator does but not as well as conductor does
  14. 23. A force parallel to the velocity of the flow; it opposes the direction of an aircraft and, in combination with thrust, determines the speed of aircraft
  15. 26. The sum of an objectś kinetic energy and potential energy due to gravity or elastic deformation; does not include chemical energy or nuclear energy
  16. 28. A push or pull exerted on and object in order to change the motion of the object; force has size and direction
