Across
- 3. a unit of measurement of the electrical potential difference between two points.
- 5. Circuit an arrangement of the components of a circuit so that all positive terminals are connected to one point and all negative terminals connected to a second point, the same voltage being applied to each component.
- 6. a safety device that melts when current is too high, breaking the circuit (non-resettable/non-reusable)
- 9. an area around a magnet where force can be felt.
- 11. a safety device that trips when current is too high, breaking the circuit (resettable)
- 14. A temporary magnet made by passing an electric current through a wire coiled around an iron bar.
- 15. a particle in the space outside the nucleus of an atom that carries one unit of negative electric charge
- 16. Circuit an end to end arrangement of the components so that the same current flows through each component.
- 19. the flow of electric charges
- 20. a measure of how difficult it is for an electric current to flow through a material
- 21. Current an electric current that flows in one direction only
- 23. cycles/second, 1 Hertz=1 cycle/second, US: 60Hz, Europe: 50Hz
- 24. unit of measure for current
Down
- 1. Circuit a broken path that does NOT allow energy or electricity to flow
- 2. Current an electric current that reverses its direction at regular intervals
- 4. A machine used to generate power in which a wheel with blades spin, pushed by water, steam, wind, etc.
- 7. a magnet that keeps or retains its magnetism after the energy source has been removed
- 8. Current The flow of electrons from a negatively charged object to a positively charged object.
- 10. Circuit The path along which electrons flow
- 12. Circuit a closed path that allows energy or electricity to flow
- 13. Watt is the unit of electric power. One watt is defined as energy consumption rate of one joule per second. Watts=voltage x amps
- 17. an electrical component that can break an electrical circuit
- 18. Wire A wire, usually copper or aluminum that is enameled with an insulative material for the windings of electrical equipment.
- 22. substance that prevents electricity from passing through
