Down
- 1. diagrams a pictorial way of showing circuits
- 2. field a field created by energy from a power source such as a battery that is applied to a circuit which makes the electrons flow through a conductor.
- 6. the unit used to measure the flow of electrons
- 7. current a flow of electrons that can be be directed through materials
- 9. a naturally occurring force that exists all around us
- 10. current when a current in a circuit can only flow in one direction
- 15. law the formula that is used to calculate electrical values so that we can design circuits and use electricity in a useful way.
