Across
- 6. The force that pulls two magnets together when their opposite poles are facing each other.
- 8. A charged atom or molecule, meaning it has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative electrical charge.
- 11. When two magentic poles of the same type push away from each other, exerting a force causing them to move apart.
- 13. The north-seeking pole of a magnet.
- 14. The flow of electric charges usually electrons, through a wire or circuit.
- 15. The south-seeking pole of a magnet.
- 18. An electromechanical measuring instrument for electric current.
- 19. Generating an electric current in a conductor by moving it through a changing magnetic field.
Down
- 1. An object that has more electrons than protons.
- 2. Energy that travels in waves, consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
- 3. The invidible force field surrounding our planet generated by the movement of molten iron in the Earth's core, which acts like a portective shield against harmful radiation from the sun.
- 4. A disturbance in the electric and magnetic field that propagates through space, transferring energy from one point to another.
- 5. A material that allows electricity to flow through it.
- 7. The region where the external magnetic field is the strongest at the north and south pole of a magnet.
- 8. A substance which does not readily allow the passage of heat or sound.
- 9. The invisible area surrounding a magnet where a magnetic force can be detected.
- 10. The force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other.
- 12. A combination of both invisible electric and magnetic fields of force.
- 16. An object that has more protons than electrons.
- 17. device that can be used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
