  1. 3. a device having a designed resistance to the passage of an electric current.
  2. 4. an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge in one or more directions.
  3. 6. an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts.
  4. 8. an electric current flowing in one direction only.
  5. 9. the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction.
  6. 12. the circuit elements are arranged in a single path.
  7. 14. the hard fibrous material that forms the main substance of the trunk or branches of a tree or shrub, used for fuel or timber.
  8. 17. relating to or denoting the generation of electricity using flowing water (typically from a reservoir held behind a dam or other barrier) to drive a turbine that powers a generator.
  9. 19. a combustible black or dark brown rock consisting mainly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in underground deposits and widely used as fuel

  1. 1. relating to or denoting a mechanical device which is electrically operated.
  2. 2. a board for making an experimental model of an electric circuit.
  3. 5. a fundamental two-dimensional circuit representation showing the functionality and connectivity between different electrical components.
  4. 7. renewable energy from plants and animals
  5. 10. an electrical path that branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch.
  6. 11. relating to or produced by the internal heat of the earth.
  7. 13. relating to or determined by the sun.
  8. 15. a force that counteracts the flow of current.
  9. 16. a light-emitting diode (a semiconductor diode which glows when a voltage is applied).
  10. 18. flammable gas, consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons, occurring naturally underground (often in association with petroleum) and used as fuel.
  11. 22. belonging to the present time; happening or being used or done now.
  12. 23. an instrument designed to measure electric current, voltage, and usually resistance, typically over several ranges of value.
