Across
- 6. amount of current flowing through a device
- 7. automatic switch which opens the circuit if an excess of current tries to flow
- 8. arrangement of materials that allows current to flow
- 9. detects very small current flowing from the live conductor to ground
- 10. commonly called romex
- 13. devices are wired in line with one another so current must flow through each device to return to source
- 15. metal or plastic tubing with conductors running inside it
- 16. electrical work is measured in units called
- 17. point in the system where equipment can be plugged in or permanently wired
Down
- 1. force that causes the current to flow
- 2. current is allowed to flow back to the source without overcoming the resistance of the device
- 3. large switch that allows all electric power to the building to be disconnected
- 4. current can take one of two or more paths to return to source
- 5. commonly called BX
- 11. current does not return to the source
- 12. movement of tiny particles called electrons
- 14. force that slows the flow of electric current
