Across
- 3. one-directional, continuous flow of electric charge in a single direction, that never reverses
- 7. a device that uses energy
- 8. the flow of electrons reverses direction periodically, going back and forth instead of moving in a single direction
- 10. a outlet for electrical devices to be plugged into, giving them power
- 11. the process of connecting an electrical circuit or object directly to the ground to safely remove excess electricity
- 13. safety rule limiting how many wires, devices, and clamps can fit inside an electrical box to prevent overheating and insulation damage
- 14. the measure of how strongly a material or component goes against the flow of electric current
Down
- 1. fire-resistant, structurally independent wall designed to prevent the spread of fire between buildings or sections in a building
- 2. high-pressure sound and concussion wave created by an arc flash
- 4. a conductor designed to move electric from a power source to a device
- 5. the rate at which energy is consumed or produced at any given moment
- 6. the electrical pressure or push that causes electricity to flow through a wire
- 8. a dangerous release of light and heat energy caused by an electrical fault where current travels through the air between conductors, or to ground
- 9. the rate of flow of electricity (current) through a conductor, measured in amperes (amps)
- 12. U.S. government agency under the Department of Labor that ensures safe and healthy working conditions
