Unit 1: Energy Flow from Earth's Systems
Across
- 4. Events or things we can observe but not yet completely explain
- 7. An example of an energy source
- 8. A circuit in which two or more components are arranged end to end to form only one connection to the source
- 10. The primary carrier of electricity; a particle with a negative charge
- 12. The amount of available resource
- 14. An adjective to describe a resource that is stable, predictable, and consistent
- 15. This type of circuit is created when energy transfers down the wrong path
- 17. A device or machine that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
- 20. Describes resources that produce energy effectively with a minimum of waste, expense, or effort
- 21. Something that a plan or design needs to be successful
- 22. The amount of resource one is requiring
Down
- 1. This type of switch completes a second path so energy can transfer
- 2. Limitations on a design or plan
- 3. A type of lightbulb that transfers 85% of the energy it receives into light
- 5. The junction point between electricity generation and distribution; it gather electricity from various sources and distribute it to end users across a wide area
- 6. An electrical safety device that is destroyed during overload conditions; protects an electric circuit from excessive electric current
- 9. A type of material that does not conduct electricity well,often used in the wrapping of wires
- 11. A type of fossil fuel along with oil and natural gas
- 13. This type of circuit is created when there is no energy transfer due to a damage or disconnection of the second path
- 16. This wire gives electrical energy a safe place to go if there is excess electrical energy in other parts of the system
- 18. The type of energy associated with movement of electrons through a wire or circuit
- 19. A circuit in which two or more components are connected to the source with separate conducting paths
