Qimiwa - Electric Circuits
Across
- 3. a circuit where the signal must be one of two discrete levels.
- 5. A passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another
- 9. a component that has a (variable) resistance that changes with the light intensity that falls upon it.
- 10. A type of switch that works using an electromagnet
- 12. included in circuits to stop excessive currents from flowing
- 13. A device used for making and breaking electric current through the circuit
- 14. A measuring instrument used to measure the current in a circuit
- 15. An instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit
- 19. An electronic device that converts energy from one form to another
- 20. an electric current which periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time
- 21. A resistor whose resistance is dependent on temperature
Down
- 1. a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it.
- 2. A component that allows electric current to flow in one direction only
- 4. A set of connected cells
- 6. a circuit where the voltage could have any value, positive or negative
- 7. a device that quickly breaks an electrical circuit to prevent serious harm from an ongoing electric shock.
- 8. The conversion of an alternating current (AC) to a direct current (DC)
- 11. a device that receives one or more electrical input signals, and produces an output signal that depends on those input signals
- 16. Used to control the amount of current flowing around a circuit
- 17. An electromechanical instrument used for detecting and indicating an electric current.
- 18. an electric current that is uni-directional, so the flow of charge is always in the same direction.
