Across
- 5. current in a circuit equals the voltage divided by the resistance
- 8. charge cannot be created or destroyed but transferred from object to object
- 11. device that can detect electric charge
- 12. net movement of electric charge in a single direction
- 13. closed path that electric current follows
- 15. accumulation of excess electric charge on an object
- 16. electric circuit with only one branch
Down
- 1. rate at which electrical energy is converted to other forms
- 2. process by transferring charge by touching or rubbing
- 3. measured in ohms, the tendency for a material to resist the flow of electrons and to convert the electrical energy into other forms
- 4. material in which electrons are not able to move easily
- 6. electric circuit with two or more branches
- 7. force that causes electric charges to flow
- 9. rearrangement of electrons on a neutral object caused by a nearby charged object
- 10. material through which electrons move easily
- 14. surrounds every electric charge and exerts a force that causes other charges to be attracted or repelled
