Across
- 8. contains almost microscopic diodes, transistors, resistors, and capacitors in a chip
- 10. Acts as a remote switch or current amplifier
- 11. these do not contain free electrons
- 12. the flow of electrons through a conductor
- 13. the movement of electrons from atom to atom
- 15. have atoms that allow the free flow of electricity; contain free electrons
- 17. consists of small particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons
Down
- 1. has more than one load connected in a single electrical path
- 2. caused when a defective wire or component touched ground
- 3. the force or electrical pressure that causes current flow
- 4. the opposition to current flow
- 5. An “electronic check valve” that allows current to flow in only one direction
- 6. Disconnects the power source from the circuit when current becomes too high.
- 7. Small section of wire designed to burn in half when excess current is present in the circuit
- 9. has more than one electrical path
- 14. protects a circuit against damage caused by a short circuit
- 16. Electrically operated switch.
