Across
  1. 2. The flow of electric charge (electrons) around a circuit, measured in amperes (A).
  2. 4. A form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (like electrons), which provides power for lights, appliances, and machines.
  3. 5. A type of energy source that is naturally replenished and will not run out, such as solar, wind, or hydropower.
  4. 7. A material (like metal) that allows electricity or heat to flow through it easily.
  5. 11. Energy that comes from the heat stored deep within the Earth, used to generate electricity or provide heating.
  6. 12. A complete, unbroken path that allows an electric current to flow from a power source, through components (like a bulb), and back to the source.
  7. 13. A device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy to power a circuit.
  8. 14. The "push" or force from a power source (like a battery) that drives the electric current through a circuit, measured in volts (V).
Down
  1. 1. The ability to do work or cause change. Electricity is one important form of energy.
  2. 3. A machine that converts mechanical energy (from moving water, wind, or steam) into electrical energy.
  3. 6. A material (like rubber or plastic) that does not allow electricity or heat to flow through it easily, used for safety.
  4. 8. A safety device in a circuit that contains a thin wire which melts and breaks the circuit if the current becomes too high.
  5. 9. A machine with blades that is made to spin by moving water, steam, wind, or gas. It is connected to a generator to produce electricity.
  6. 10. Energy that comes from the sun, which can be converted into electricity using solar panels.
  7. 13. Organic material from plants or animals (like wood, crops, or waste) that can be burned or processed to produce energy.
