Across
  1. 2. A flow of electricity.
  2. 3. A given quantity of electricity.
  3. 4. Provides more than one path for electricity to flow.
  4. 5. Consists of a battery (power source), wire (conductor), an electric device (load) and switch (control) connected together to form a closed circuit.
  5. 6. An incomplete path, electricity cannot cross the break in the circuit.
  6. 8. Anything that uses electricity or batteries.
  7. 16. Unit used to measure power.
  8. 20. The point on the battery where electrons leave.
  9. 21. Contains positive and negative electrodes surrounded by an electrolyte. A chemical reaction occurs within the cell which generates electricity (releases electrons). One or more cells connected together is called a batter.
  10. 22. A device used for generating electricity through a electrochemical reaction; a battery unit it made from one or more cells
  11. 23. A device used to control the flow of electricity
Down
  1. 1. One path (loop) for electricity through all loads. If one bulb or battery is disconnected, the circuit will not work.
  2. 4. The point on the battery where electrons enter.
  3. 7. An electrical component, which slows electron flow.
  4. 9. Places (on bells, bulbs and other electrical divided) where wires are connected to allow for the flow of electricity.
  5. 10. Anything an electrical current can pass through easily
  6. 11. A type of energy in which small particles (called electrons) move through a device.
  7. 12. Materials that electricity has a hard time flowing through; e.g. plastic coating on wire, leather, wood, etc.
  8. 13. The capacity for doing work; may be electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal or nuclear.
  9. 14. A complete path for an electric current.
  10. 15. Where the current flows from the battery through an electrical device providing power, and returning back to the battery.
  11. 17. A measure of the amount of electrical energy supplied to each charge.
  12. 18. An electrical device.
  13. 19. A very fine wire.
