Across
- 1. Device that only lets electricity flow through it one way.
- 4. A component made of a thin wire that protects a circuit from electrical fire.
- 7. Does not conduct electricity well and has a very high resistance.
- 9. A component which changes chemical potential energy to electrical energy.
- 10. The measurement of how hard it is for electricity to pass through a wire.
- 13. Thin piece of wire inside a lamp.
- 14. resistor Component with a resistance that can be manually changed.
- 18. A component which limits the flow of a current by converting electrical energy into heat energy.
- 20. Flow in a circuit to make a current. Negatively charged particles.
- 22. A device which is used to measure the voltage across a component.
- 23. Unit of power.
Down
- 2. current Current that always flows in the same direction.
- 3. property of matter that produces all electrical effects.

- 11. Resistor that depends on temperature.
- 12. Describes a circuit which the current splits into more than one path.
- 15. Instrument that measures electrical current in amps.
- 16. Amount of energy transferred every second.
- 17. More than one cell.
- 19. Describes a circuit in which the current travels along one path through every component.
- 21. Unit of resistance.
