Across
  1. 2. the SI unit of electromotive force, the difference of potential that would drive one ampere of current against one ohm resistance.
  2. 3. The highest point above the resting postion
  3. 4. a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor
  4. 8. Something that has been emitted, released or discharged
  5. 9. the SI unit of electrical resistance, expressing the resistance in a circuit transmitting a current of one ampere when subjected to a potential difference of one volt.
  6. 10. When light bounces off an object
  7. 11. The highest surface part of the wave
  8. 13. A measure of how high or low something sounds
  9. 17. the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size.
  10. 19. A disturbance or variation that transfers energy progressively
  11. 23. describes how long the wave is
  12. 24. Materials that do not allow electricity to pass through them
  13. 26. a substance capable of becoming superconducting at sufficiently low temperatures
  14. 28. The bending of a wave around the edge of an opening or an obstacle
  15. 30. A unit of frequency of change in a state or cyclical waveform of once per cycle
Down
  1. 1. supply the needed power by varying the supply current, and fixing the supplied voltage, depending on the total resistance encountered
  2. 5. a solid substance that has a conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals, either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects
  3. 6. the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light
  4. 7. a characteristic of a unit of matter that expresses the extent to which it has more or fewer electrons than protons.
  5. 12. a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit
  6. 14. The number of wave cycles to pass a given point per unit of time
  7. 15. he measure of the height of the wave.
  8. 16. A measure of light power per unit area
  9. 18. s one-directional flow of electric charge.
  10. 20. A volume empty of matter sometimes called free space
  11. 21. The type of matter through which a wave energy propagate
  12. 22. is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other charged particles
  13. 25. An electric current that frequently reverses direction
  14. 27. formed when an electric field (which is shown in red arrows) couples with a magnetic field
  15. 29. a method used to charge an object without actually touching the object to any other charged object
