Across
- 1. An electrical device that opens or closes a circuit, allowing or stopping current flow.
- 4. An electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction, protecting circuits from the reverse current.
- 5. A semiconductor device that acts as a switch or amplifier, controlling the flow of current in a circuit.
- 8. An adjustable resistor used to control voltage or current in a circuit.
- 13. A device that stores and releases electrical energy, commonly used in filtering and timing circuits.
- 14. A protective device that breaks a circuit by melting when the current exceeds a safe level.
- 15. A solid-state switch used to control high-voltage power, remaining on after activation until the power is cut.
- 17. A component that stores energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it.
Down
- 2. A temperature-sensitive resistor that changes its resistance with temperature variations.
- 3. A component that limits the flow of electric current and divides voltage within a circuit.
- 6. A wound wire component that generates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it, commonly used in inductors and transformers.
- 7. A device that detects changes in physical conditions (such as temperature or light) and converts them into electrical signals.
- 9. A device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy to power circuits.
- 10. A surge-protecting electronic component with an electrical resistance that varies with the applied voltage.
- 11. An electrically operated switch that uses a small input current to control a larger current, providing circuit isolation.
- 12. A device that transfers electrical energy between circuits by electromagnetic induction, often adjusting voltage levels.
- 16. A component that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).
