Across
- 8. A device that changes the voltage of alternating current.
- 9. Coils of wire around the core that create a magnetic field when current flows through them.
- 10. Material that prevents the passage of electricity.
- 12. The number of cycles per second in an alternating current (AC) system.
- 14. A force that causes rotation.
- 15. The rotating component of an electric motor or generator.
Down
- 1. The flow of electric charge.
- 2. The process by which a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field causes the production of voltage across the conductor.
- 3. The power consumed by a device connected to a power source.
- 4. A rotary switch in certain types of motors and generators that periodically reverses the current direction.
- 5. The stationary part of an electric motor or generator.
- 6. The ratio of useful power output to total power input.
- 7. The part of an electric machine in which the voltage is induced.
- 11. Conductive material used to maintain electrical contact between stationary and moving parts.
- 13. The magnetic material within a transformer or motor around which the coils are wound.
