Across
  1. 1. the electrical "pressure" or potential difference that pushes electric charges (current) through a circuit
  2. 3. the unit that measures the rate of electrical current, or how many electrons are flowing through a wire at any given moment
  3. 5. a tiny, fundamental particle with a negative electric charge that orbits the nucleus of an atom
  4. 8. the force that allows magnets to attract or repel certain materials (like iron) without touching
  5. 9. natural spark of electricity from static charges building up in storm clouds
  6. 11. a material that allows energy—specifically electricity or heat—to flow through it easily with little resistance
  7. 12. an electrical setup where components are connected across the same two nodes, creating multiple, independent paths for current to flow
  8. 14. an electrical circuit that is not complete.
  9. 17. a complete, uninterrupted electrical path that allows current to flow continuously from the power source through components and back to the source
  10. 18. happening or existing now, in the present time, like current events or your current job, but it also means a flow of water, air, or electricity, like a river current or electric current (flow of electrons)
Down
  1. 2. the SI unit of electrical resistance, expressing the resistance in a circuit transmitting a current of one ampere when subjected to a potential difference of one volt.
  2. 3. an electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time
  3. 4. the unidirectional, constant flow of electric charge, moving in only one direction
  4. 6. the buildup of an unbalanced electrical charge on the surface of a material, typically caused by friction or contact between two different materials
  5. 7. A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it
  6. 10. an electrical circuit where components are connected end-to-end in a single, continuous loop
  7. 13. the opposition to something, whether it's a force, idea, or flow
  8. 15. a path that can allow electricity to flow, if closed
  9. 16. what happens when charge carriers, called electrons, accumulate
