- 2. interaction between electricity and magnetism
- 5. A material in which charges cannot move freely
- 6. A device that converts mechanical energy
- 7. The force that resist the start of sliding motion between two surfaces that are in contact and at rest
- 9. The force that opposes the movement of two surfaces that are in contact and are moving over each other
- 13. The sum of an object's kinetic energy and potential energy due to gravity or elastic deformation does not include chemical energy or nuclear energy
- 16. charge at rest generally produced by friction or induction
- 19. A material in which charges can move freely
- 20. material that attracts iron or materials containing iron
- 23. The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside object acts on the force
- 24. The energy that an object has because of the position condition or chemical composition of the object
- 25. The combination of all of the forces acting on an object
- 26. A coil of wire with an electric current in it
Down
- 1. Any region in which a physical force has an effect
- 3. A region where a magnet force can be detected
- 4. process of creating a current in a circuit by changing a magnetic field
- 8. energy of an object that is due to the object's motion
- 10. A device that increases or decrease the voltage of alternating current
- 11. A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
- 12. coil that has a soft iron core and that acts as a magnet when an electric current is in the coil
- 14. The path that a body follows as it travels around another body in space
- 15. element or compound that conducts electric current better than an insulator does but not as well as a conductor does
- 17. A fundamental property that leads to the electromagnetic interactions among particles that make up matter
- 18. A force parallel to the velocity of the flow it opposes the direction of an aircraft and in combination with thrust determines the speed of the aircraft
- 21. A push or pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object force has size and direction
- 22. A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses.
