Across
- 4. a unit of electric current, often shortened to amp.
- 6. a container consisting of one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a source of power.
- 8. A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it.
- 10. a person who directs the performance of an orchestra or choir.
- 13. a device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit.
- 15. the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light.
- 16. a roughly circular line, route, or movement that starts and finishes at the same place.
- 17. a simplified version of an electrical circuit
- 19. a device, which converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
- 20. the degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current density in the material to the electric field that causes the flow of current. It is the reciprocal of the resistivity.
Down
- 1. one in which all circuit elements are arranged in a single path.
- 2. (of lines, planes, surfaces, or objects) side by side and having the same distance continuously between them.
- 3. an electrical safety device consisting of or including a wire or strip of fusible metal that melts and interrupts the circuit when the current exceeds a particular amperage.
- 5. a law in electricity that states that the current in a circuit is equal to the potential difference divided by the resistance of the circuit.
- 7. belonging to the present time; happening or being used or done now.
- 9. the act or power of resisting, opposing, or withstanding
- 11. A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it.
- 12. was appointed principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra"
- 14. electrical resistance of a conductor of unit cross-sectional area and unit length
- 18. the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter possessing an electric charge.
- 21. a unit of electrical potential difference and electromotive force equal to the difference in potential between two points in a conducting wire carrying a constant current of one ampere when the power used between these two points is equal to one watt.
