- 3. a device used to decrease the voltage and increase tha amperage
- 6. a material that prevents forms of energy to be transferred easily
- 9. a device used to increase the voltage and decrease the amps
- 11. some are wind, steam, water. Generally hooked to a generator and capture energy and turn it into mechanical motion
- 12. a device used to produce electrical energy
- 13. a type of current that doesn't change polarity. We get this type of current from batteries.
- 15. site where electrical power coming from power plant is dropped down in voltage before being dropped again by the transformer close to your house.
- 17. a device that uses electrical energy to produce mechanical motion
Down
- 1. a material that allows forms of energy to be transferred easily
- 2. making use of a conductor moving in a magnetic field to produce electricity
- 4. a type of current that changes polarity from +/-/+ etc. 60X a second in the U.S.
- 5. the unit of electrical power, amperage X voltage =
- 7. side of a transformer that power is going out on.
- 8. side of a transformer that power is coming in on.
- 10. a device that produces a magnetic field, can be permanent or electrical
- 14. the unit of electrical flow. Alot of houses have 150 or 200 ____ service to their house.
- 16. unit of electrical potential, in the U.S. most receptacles are rated at 120 of these.
