Across
  1. 2. any class of devices that convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy.
  2. 6. one in which every component is arranged in a series connection.
  3. 9. a electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts.
  4. 10. a measure of the ability of water to pass an electrical current.
  5. 11. a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current.
  6. 12. the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body.
  7. 13. a unit of electoral current
  8. 14. a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.
  9. 16. A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it
  10. 17. the SI unit of electrical resistance, expressing the resistance in a circuit transmitting a current of one ampere when subjected to a potential difference of one volt.
  11. 18. a device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit.
Down
  1. 1. a measure of the resisting power of a specified material to the flow of an electric current.
  2. 3. the SI unit of electromotive force, the difference of potential that would drive one ampere of current against one ohm resistance.
  3. 4. join or blend to form a single entity.
  4. 5. - a graphical representation of an electrical circuit.
  5. 7. a person who collects fares in a public means of transportation such as a bus or railroad train.
  6. 8. an electrical path that branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch.
  7. 12. a complete circular path that electricity flows through.
  8. 15. the rate at which electrons flow past a point in a complete electrical circuit.
  9. 17. a law stating that electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
