- 2. the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.
- 4. is a measuring instrument used to measure the current in a circuit.
- 6. an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material.
- 7. the difference of electrical potential between two points.
- 8. a force between electric currents: two parallel currents in the same direction attract, in oposite directions repel.
- 12. a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in a plasma.
- 13. station is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power.
- 16. circuit that has two or more paths for current to flow through.
- 18. subatomic particle, symbol p or p+, with a positive electric charge of +1e elementary charge and mass slightly less than that of a neutron.
- 19. electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts
- 20. change the voltage of (an electric current).
- 22. states the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.
- 24. a propety of objects which can be transferred to other objects or converted into different forms.
- 25. an object or type of material that allow the flow of electrical current in one or more directions.
Down
- 1. complete electrical network with a closed loop giving a return path for current.
- 3. symbol e− or β−, with a negative elementary electric charge
- 5. the magnetic effect of electric currents and magnetic materials.
- 9. the current through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component.
- 10. one of the most powerful, fundamental forces in the universe.
- 11. a material of such low conductivity that the flow of current through it is negligible.
- 14. an instrument used for measuring electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit.
- 15. an instrument designed to measure electric current, voltage, and usually resistance, typically over several ranges of value.
- 17. atom or a molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving the atom or molecule a net positive or negative electrical charge.
- 21. a measurement of the difficulty encountered by a power source in forcing electric current through an electrical circuit, and hence the amount of power dissipated in the circuit.
- 23. is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.
