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