Across
- 3. Describes a circuit in which the current splits up into more than one path.
- 6. A component in a circuit. When closed the current can flow. When open the current cannot flow.
- 7. A very thin piece of wire inside a lamp that glows and gets hot when current passes through it
- 8. A Component which changes electrical energy into light energy
- 9. A component made of a thin wire that protects a circuit from electrical fire. If the current gets too large, the fuse wire melts (the fuse 'blows') and stops the current.
- 10. The measurement of how hard it is for electricity to pass through a wire
- 14. A component which changes chemical potential energy to electrical energy.
Down
- 1. Unit of current. The charge that flows during one second
- 2. A meter that is used to measure the voltage of a circuit
- 4. A material with high resistance and that doesn’t let electricity pass through
- 5. Used in a circuit when there is more than one cell
- 11. Describes a circuit in which the current travels along one path through every component.
- 12. Flow of electric charge. Measured in Amps. The number of coulombs of charge that flow per second.
- 13. Unit of electric charge
