- 2. The amount of electrical power consumed by devices connected to a circuit.
- 5. The process of connecting the end of a wire or cable to a device, connector, or another wire.
- 8. Connectors that are attached to the end of a wire by deforming the metal to secure the wire in place.
- 12. Safety measures that prevent overheating in electrical wiring, often using materials that can withstand high temperatures.
- 14. The process of selecting the appropriate wire size based on current requirements and other factors.
- 15. A tool used to measure voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit to diagnose issues.
- 16. A safety measure that connects electrical systems to the ground to prevent shock and ensure safety.
Down
- 1. The unbroken and consistent existence or operation of a circuit, ensuring that electricity can flow without interruption.
- 3. The maximum amount of electrical current a conductor can carry safely without overheating.
- 4. Materials that allow the flow of electricity or heat, typically metals like copper or aluminum.
- 6. Materials that resist the flow of electricity or heat, preventing current from passing through.
- 7. A non-conductive material that surrounds a conductor to prevent electrical leakage and protect against environmental factors.
- 9. Methods or materials used to prevent wear and damage to wires caused by rubbing against surfaces.
- 10. The maximum temperature a material can withstand before it begins to degrade or lose its functional properties.
- 11. A standardized system used to measure the diameter of electrical wires.
- 13. The reduction in voltage in an electrical circuit that occurs due to resistance in the conductors.
