- 18. A type of circuit where there is more than one path for the current.
- 19. A device used to measure the current in a circuit.
- 20. A resistor whose resistance decreases as the light intensity increases.
Down
- 1. The rate of flow of electrical charge.
- 2. A component whose resistance decreases as its temperature increases.
