Telephone!

2. A device that links a computer to the phone network in the internet.
5. An inventor's description of an invention, filed at a patent office so that no other inventor can copy the same invention.
6. The number of waves produced within a given period of time. The frequency of a sound wave determines its pitch.
8. The amount of opposition a material has to the flow of electric current through it.
11. An electric current that changes strength, and so can produce different effects in a linked apparatus.
12. Fast movements, up and down or from side to side.
13. A rare and expensive metal that is very resistant to corrosion.
14. A spacecraft held in orbit around a planet by gravity.
15. The flow of electrons along a conductor, such as a wire.
17. Science put to practical use, using systems and equipment made by inventors.
19. A common natural material - coal, charcoal, and diamonds are forms of carbon.
20. A system for changing one kind of information (such as sounds) into another (such as electrical signals).
21. Vibrations in the air which we, and animals, sense with our ears and hear with our brains.
22. The complete path taken by an electrical current along a suitable conductor.

1. A device containing two substances that react chemically to produce electricity.
3. A flexible layer, like a skin, which vibrates in air and in a microphone that can send and receive sound waves.
4. The invisible force that attracts some metals and is given out by an electric current as well as by some substances.
7. A magnet which works only when a current passes through a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core.
9. The method of sending light-signals at very high speed through thin glass or plastic tubes bundled together.
10. A way of changing continuous electrical current into a sequence of "0" and "1" (on/off) electrical signals.
16. A substance that allows electricity to flow through it easily.
18. A form of radiation, used to send sounds through the air without wires.
