Across
  1. 2. In the electrical sense, induction is the production of a potential difference, or electro-motive force (emf) in an electrical conductor caused by a varying magnetic field
  2. 3. An electric circuit connected so that current passes through each circuit element in turn without branching.
  3. 6. An electric current that reverses direction in a circuit at regular intervals.
  4. 8. The force exerted by stationary objects bearing electric charge on other stationary objects bearing electric charge, being repulsive if the objects have charges of the same sign
  5. 11. an electrical device that provides a path for electrical current to flow
  6. 12. The field of electronics comprises the study and use of systems that operate by controlling the flow of electrons
  7. 18. one of the basic properties of the elementary particles of matter giving rise to all electric and magnetic forces and interactions.
  8. 19. The law stating that the direct current flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference between its ends.
  9. 22. the act or power of resisting, opposing, or withstanding.
  10. 24. the principle that the total electric charge of a system is constant.
  11. 25. a programmable electronic device designed to accept data, perform prescribed mathematical and logical operations at high speed
  12. 27. the transfer of energy by a medium without bulk movement of the medium itself
  13. 28. Votage stress is after something gets stuck by an electrical thing, it has stress on it.
  14. 29. An automatic switch that stops the flow of electric current in a suddenly overloaded or otherwise abnormally stressed electric circuit.
  15. 31. A digital signal refers to an electrical signal that is converted into a pattern of bits.
Down
  1. 1. the time rate of flow of electric charge
  2. 4. a combination of two or more cell electrically connected to work together to produce electric energy.
  3. 5. a closed electrical circuit in which the current is divided into two or more paths and then returns via a common path to complete the circuit
  4. 7. In science and engineering, an electrical conductor is a material which contains movable electric charges.
  5. 9. the product of voltage and current
  6. 10. A signal in which some feature increases and decreases in the same way as the thing being transmitted.
  7. 13. a signal generated by electronic means
  8. 14. a substance, as silicon or germanium, with electrical conductivity intermediate between that of an insulator and a conductor
  9. 15. The difference in electric potential between two points, especially two points in an electric circuit.
  10. 16. A small electronic device containing a semiconductor and having at least three electrical contacts, used in a circuit as an amplifier, detector, or switch.
  11. 17. a vector quantity from which is determined the magnitude and direction of the force
  12. 20. the phenomenon of almost perfect conductivity shown by certain substances at temperatures approaching absolute zero.
  13. 21. The solid surface of the earth
  14. 23. The definition of electricity (kinetic) is the flow of electrons. In static electricity there is still the charge but is is stored on the outside of a conductor in a single layer.
  15. 26. An electronic device that restricts current flow chiefly to one direction.
  16. 30. to reduce to a liquid or plastic state by heat
