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