- 4. Breaker A safety device that automatically stops the flow of electricity in a circuit if there is an overload or short circuit. It helps prevent electrical accidents and fires.
- 8. A path for an electric current to flow. It typically includes wires, switches, and components that allow electricity to travel and power devices.
- 9. A device that produces light when an electric current passes through it. It is commonly used in lamps, light fixtures, and other lighting applications.
- 11. A device that changes the voltage of an electric current. It is used to increase or decrease the voltage for different applications.
- 13. A device on a wall that provides a place to connect electrical plugs. It allows electricity to flow from the power source to electrical devices.
- 14. Motor A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It is used in various machines and appliances to create motion or perform work.
- 15. Panel A device that converts sunlight into electricity. It uses photovoltaic cells to capture the sun's energy and generate electrical power.
Down
- 1. A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.
- 2. A device used to open or close an electrical circuit. It controls the flow of electricity to turn devices on or off.
- 3. A machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is used to produce electricity in power plants or as a backup during power outages.
- 5. A material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. Examples include rubber, plastic, and glass.
- 6. A thin, flexible strand of metal used to carry electrical current. It connects components in a circuit and allows electricity to travel from one place to another.
- 7. A natural electrical discharge that occurs during thunderstorms. It appears as a bright flash in the sky and is often followed by thunder.
- 10. A device that stores and provides electrical energy. It is often used to power small electronics like toys, flashlights, and remote controls.
- 12. A safety device that melts and breaks the circuit when there is an excessive amount of current. It helps protect electrical devices from damage.
