POWER GRID

3. The fundamental SI unit measuring the rate of flow of electric charge, often visualized as the volume of water flowing through a pipe.
7. A digital circuit that acts as a multi-way switch, selecting one of many input data lines and routing it to a single output line.
8. The directed flow of electric charge carriers through a medium, measured in amperes.
9. A three-terminal semiconductor device that can either act as an electronic switch for digital circuits or amplify analog signals.
10. A protective component used to provide a safe path for an inductive current's voltage spike when the circuit is switched off.
12. A digital logic gate that requires all of its inputs to be at a high logic level to produce a high output.

1. A mode of operation for a 555 timer that generates a continuous square-wave signal, often used for oscillators.
2. A passive component's property that measures its ability to store electrical energy in an electric field, with the unit being the Farad.
4. His two laws govern the behavior of electric current and voltage in a circuit by stating that energy and charge are conserved.
5. The most basic sequential logic circuit that can store a single bit of binary information, acting as the building block for registers.
6. The process of maintaining a constant output voltage from a power supply, even when the input voltage or load changes.
11. A two-terminal semiconductor that allows current to flow in only one direction, commonly used for rectification in power supplies.
