- 3. the name of an electrical wire, or group of them in a cable, with a connector or pin at each end, which is normally used to interconnect the components of a breadboard or other prototype or test circuit
- 4. an electronic component which creates an opposition to the flow of the current. It is used to decrease the electrical current so other components in the circuit can handle the current size. Resistance is measured in ohms
- 9. Thermal _____ is the transfer of heat in internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body
- 11. A supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
- 12. An electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A typical _______ can measure voltage, current, and resistance.
Down
- 1. the ______rate is the rate at which the heat dissipates
- 2. a construction base for prototyping of electronics which does not require any soldering.
- 5. A scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.
- 6. _____ switches are switches that open and close circuits electromechanically or electronically. Relays control one electrical circuit by opening and closing contacts in another circuit
- 7. This stands for "Light-Emitting Diode." It is an electronic device that emits light and heat when an electrical current is passed through it.
- 8. This is the higher voltage with respect to GND (ground). ____ is the power input of a device. It may be positive or negative with respect to GND, but most of the world runs on positive voltages like in a vehicle.
- 10. the _____ rate is the rate at which heat is absorbed and registered.
