  1. 3. The property of a circuit or component that opposes a change in current, measured in Henrys (H).
  2. 5. The ability of a system to store charge, measured in Farads (F).
  3. 10. The total opposition to current flow in an AC circuit, including both resistance and reactance, measured in Ohms (Ω).
  4. 11. Current that reverses direction periodically.
  5. 12. The number of cycles per second of a waveform, measured in Hertz (Hz).
  6. 13. Wave - The most basic form of an AC waveform, characterized by its smooth periodic oscillations.
  7. 14. The ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit. (Two words)
  8. 15. A statistical measure of the magnitude of a varying quantity, often used to calculate the effective voltage or current.
