Across
- 5. an electrical charge on an object that occurs when it has more protons than electrons
- 8. a combination of invisible electric and magnetic fields of force.
- 9. an electromechanical measuring instrument for electric current
- 10. the terminal of a battery that is connected to the positive plate
- 12. magnetic field an invisible force field that surrounds our planet, generated by the movement of molten iron in Earth's core, acting like a giant magnet and protecting the planet from harmful solar radiation and cosmic rays by deflecting them away
- 16. a physical field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials
- 18. a disturbance in a magnetic and electric field that travels through space
- 19. phenomenon associated with magnetic fields
- 20. The property by which an ordinary piece of iron acquires magnetic properties temporarily due to the presence of another magnet close to it
- 22. region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest
Down
- 1. radiant energy that travels in waves at the speed of light
- 2. a force under the influence of which objects tend to move toward each other.
- 3. valence electron pairs surrounding an atom tend to repel each other. The greater the repulsion, the higher in energy (less stable) the molecule is
- 4. a material or device that conducts or transmits heat, electricity, or sound, especially when regarded in terms of its capacity to do this.
- 6. to extend, spread, or move like rays or radii from a center
- 7. the state of an atom or object having more electrons than protons, resulting in an overall negative electrical charge
- 11. any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive or negative electrical charges
- 13. to force (something) to move away or apart
- 14. a generator is a device that converts motion based power or fuel based power into electric power
- 15. current a flow of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space.
- 17. the pole of a magnet that points toward the south when the magnet is suspended freely
- 21. a material in which electric current does not flow freely
