Across
  1. 8. any material that attracts iron and materials that contain iron
  2. 9. a coil of wire with an electric current in it
  3. 10. the force that opposes the movement of two surfaces that are in contact and are moving over each other
  4. 12. the region where a magnetic force can be detected
  5. 17. a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
  6. 18. The interaction between electricity and magnetism
  7. 19. A fundamental property that leads to the electromagnetic interactions among particles that make up matter.
  8. 21. A push or pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object
  9. 23. any region in which a physical force has an effect
  10. 25. The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object
  11. 26. The combination of all forces acting on an object
  12. 29. a force parallel to the velocity of the flow; it opposes the direction of an aircraft and, in combination with thrust, determines the speed of the aircraft
Down
  1. 1. an element or compound that conducts electric current better than an insulator does but not as well as a conductor does
  2. 2. A device that increases or decreases the voltage of alternating current
  3. 3. the force that resists the initiation of sliding motion between two surfaces that are in contact and at rest
  4. 4. the process of creating a current in a circuit by changing a magnetic field
  5. 5. the force of attraction or repulsion generated by moving or spinning electric charges
  6. 6. one of two points, such as the ends of a magnet, that have opposing magnetic qualities
  7. 7. the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy due to gravity or elastic deformation
  8. 11. a coil that has a soft iron core and that acts as a magnet when an electric current is in the coil
  9. 13. A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses.
  10. 14. the motion of a body when the only force of gravity is acting on the body
  11. 15. the energy an object has due to its motion
  12. 16. electric charge at rest; generally produced by friction or induction
  13. 20. the energy that an object has because of the position, shape, or condition, or chemical condition of the object
  14. 22. the path that a body follows as it travels around another body in space
  15. 24. a material in which charges can move freely
  16. 27. a material in which charges cannot move freely
  17. 28. a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
