Across
- 2. occurs when current takes an unintended path
- 3. the unit of voltage
- 5. total current must flow through each component of the circuit; Christmas lights - when one goes out, they all go out.
- 6. any material or object that can produce a magnetic field
- 7. have branches that provide multiple paths that current can take; wiring in a house
- 10. material through which charge moves poorly; plastic or rubber
- 11. the charges flow in one direction from the power source, through the components of the circuit, and then back to the power source; calculators, flashlights, any other battery powered systems
- 12. material through which charge moves easily; metals
Down
- 1. a strong magnet inside an electrified wire coil; used to life heavy metals, high speed maglev trains
- 4. the electric charges in these circuits change direction repeatedly as the system operates; household appliances
- 8. the unit for current
- 9. the force that moves electric charge carriers through an electric circuit; electric potential difference
