science puzzle
Across
- 2. law: the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant.
- 4. A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it
- 5. a unit of measure for electrical current.
- 7. diagram: a graphical representation of an electrical circuit
- 8. the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body
- 9. circuit: one in which all circuit elements are arranged in a single path
- 12. a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current.
- 15. the refusal to accept or comply with something
- 16. a conducting wire carrying a constant current of one ampere when the power used between these two points is equal to one watt
- 18. the rate at which electrons flow past a point in a complete electrical circuit
- 19. a safety device consisting of a strip of wire that melts and breaks an electric circuit if the current exceeds a safe level.
Down
- 1. an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts
- 3. the degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current density in the material to the electric field that causes the flow of current
- 6. circuit: an electrical path that branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch.
- 7. the materials or substances which allow electricity to flow through them
- 10. a device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit.
- 11. a measure of the resisting power of a specified material to the flow of an electric current.
- 13. a roughly circular line, route, or movement that starts and finishes at the same place
- 14. a container consisting of one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a source of power
- 17. the SI unit of electrical resistance, expressing the resistance in a circuit transmitting a current of one ampere when subjected to a potential difference of one volt.
