Across
- 2. a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the Earth.
- 3. the release and transmission of electricity in an applied electric field through a medium such as a gas.
- 5. a complete circular path that electricity flows through
- 6. an electrical quantity that measures how the device or material reduces the electric current flow through it.
- 8. the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference in temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
- 10. The repulsive or attractive interaction between any two charged bodies
- 13. an electrical discharge caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground, or within the clouds themselves
- 14. is a material in which electric current does not flow freely
Down
- 1. American physicist and inventor of the Van de Graaff generator,
- 4. is a familiar electric phenomenon in which charged particles are transferred from one body to another
- 5. a circuit without interruption, providing a continuous path through which a current can flow.
- 7. a method to create or generate static electricity in a material by bringing an electrically charged object near it.
- 9. pressure that pushes electricity
- 11. a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space.
- 12. an electric circuit that does not allow current to pass
- 15. the unit used to measure electric current
