The World of Physics
Across
- 2. good — or the opposite of negative.
- 3. a complete circular path that electricity flows through.
- 4. a negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an atom or free
- 7. a machine, especially one powered by electricity or internal combustion,
- 9. the rate at which electrons flow past a point in a complete electrical circuit - a complete circular path that electricity flows through
- 10. device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit
- 12. a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom
- 14. the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light
- 15. a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
- 16. a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom except that of simple hydrogen
- 18. a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy
- 19. the opposition that a substance offers to the flow of electric current
- 21. a substance or material that allows electricity to flow through it.
- 22. energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the speed of light
Down
- 1. a type of electromagnetic radiation that allows the human eye to see or makes objects visible
- 3. a physical property that causes matter to experience a force within an electromagnetic field.
- 5. the unit of electrical resistance in the International System of Units.
- 6. y type of force that causes objects to come together, even if those objects are not close to or touching each other
- 8. the International System of Units' (SI) standard unit of power (energy per unit time), the equivalent of one jouleper second
- 11. a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element
- 13. lacking positive qualities
- 17. an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit
- 20. electricity the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object.
