Across
- 4. one that has two or more paths for the electricity to flow, the loads are parallel to each other
- 6. a substance which does not readily allow the passage of heat or sound
- 8. the SI base unit of electrical current
- 9. a machine, especially one powered by electricity or internal combustion, that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for some other device with moving parts
- 13. a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids
- 15. an automatic control system in which an operation, process, or mechanism is regulated by feedback
- 16. an electric current flowing in one direction only
- 18. a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign
- 19. the SI unit of power, equivalent to one joule per second
- 20. comprises a path along which the whole current flows through each component
- 21. belonging to the present time; happening or being used or done now
- 22. the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
- 24. an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts
- 26. the SI unit of electromotive force
Down
- 1. the positively charged central core of an atom
- 2. a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current
- 3. a measure of 1,000 watts of electrical power
- 5. a container consisting of one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a source of power
- 7. join or blend to form a single entity
- 10. a device having a designed resistance to the passage of an electric current
- 11. the force exerted per unit area
- 12. the basic unit of a chemical element
- 14. an electric current that reverses its direction many times a second at regular intervals, typically used in power supplies
- 17. a material or device that conducts or transmits heat, electricity, or sound, especially when regarded in terms of its capacity to do this
- 23. store electrical energy in (a battery or battery-operated device)
- 25. a control system for an operation or process in which there is no self-correcting action as there is in a closed loop
