Across
  1. 4. An electronic device that allows electron flow in only one direction.
  2. 5. Circuit-- Devices in which a circuit forms branches, each of which is a separate path for electron flow
  3. 7. Field: Surrounds every electric charge and exerts the force that causes other electric charges to be attracted or repelled
  4. 8. A material through which electrons move easily
  5. 9. A material in which electrons are not able to move easily
  6. 10. Current (AC): Electric current that repeatedly reverses direction.
  7. 11. Difference: The force that causes electric charges to flow
  8. 14. Current (DC): A flow of charge that always flows in one direction.
Down
  1. 1. Source: An object that provides a potential difference
  2. 2. Circuit- Devices in a circuit form a single pathway for electron flow
  3. 3. Current: Net movement of electric charges in a single direction
  4. 6. The tendency for a material to resist the flow of electrons and to convert electrical energy into other forms
  5. 8. A complete pathway that allows the flow of electrons
  6. 12. of Conservation of Charge: Charge can be transferred from object to object, but it cannot be created or destroyed
  7. 13. The flow of 1 coulomb of charge per second.
