Across
- 3. a material that will not conduct electricity because it will not release its own electrons
- 4. the unit of mechanical power equal to 746 watts of electrical power
- 6. A conductor that carries current from the load back to the source. Usually white.
- 10. complete electrical pathway from the power source through the load & back to the source
- 11. A conductor that carries electrical pressure to the load. Usually black.
- 13. an incomplete circuit
- 15. path through which an electrical current flows
- 16. unit of measure of electrical pressure or the pressure being applied to force electrons through a circuit
- 17. unit of measure for the flow of electrical current
- 18. unit of measure of electrical resistance
Down
- 1. any device that converts electrical energy into another form of useable energy
- 2. Conducting wire that transmits stray electrical current to the earth to minimize the danger from electrical shock. Usually bare.
- 5. used to increase or decrease the amount of voltage.
- 7. a form of energy that can be converted to light, heat, sound & motion
- 8. measure of electric power
- 9. movement of electrons through an electrical conductor
- 12. any material that allows electrons to move readily offering low resistance.
- 14. Produces approximately 85% of all electricity used in the U.S
