Across
- 4. The flow of electrical charge
- 5. tiny particles (electrons) moving around, causing an imbalance when things rub together, making them stick or shock
- 9. the occurrence of a natural electrical discharge of very short duration and high voltage between a cloud and the ground or within a cloud
- 10. a material with high electrical resistance that prevents the free flow of electric charge
- 11. a complete, uninterrupted electrical path that allows current to flow continuously
- 14. an electrical setup where components are connected across the same two points, creating multiple independent branches for current to flow
- 15. an electrical circuit that is not complete
- 17. a type of electrical current where the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction
- 19. a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge
Down
- 1. the net rate at which electric charge flows through a surface
- 2. a tiny, negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom
- 3. closed-loop configuration where all components are connected end-to-end
- 6. the inherent opposition a material provides to the flow of electric current
- 7. a closed-loop path that allows electricity (electrons) to flow from a power source through conductors
- 8. a material, typically a metal like copper or aluminum, that allows electric current (the flow of electrons) to pass through it easily with minimal resistance
- 12. the SI unit of electrical resistance
- 13. the unidirectional, constant flow of electric charge
- 16. the International System of Units (SI) measure of electric potential
- 18. the volume of electrons moving through a conductor per second
