Across
  1. 2. Adding more cells in a series setup increases the current flowing through, which increases the __________ of the bulb.
  2. 7. Electricity can only __________ through a loop when there are no gaps and the path is made of conducting materials.
  3. 8. A flexible non-conducting material used to make gloves for electricians to block electricity from passing through them.
  4. 10. The side part of a bulb base that acts as one of the two connection points for electricity to enter or leave.
  5. 11. A setup where electricity can travel through more than one path, so if one bulb fuses, the others stay lit.
  6. 13. A transparent material used to make the outer bulb casing that protects the internal path while letting light pass through.
  7. 16. A material chosen to make the paths and connection points in a loop because it allows electricity to pass through easily.
  8. 17. A thin coiled wire inside a light source that gains heat and glows brightly when electricity passes through it.
  9. 20. An incomplete loop with a gap or a broken path that prevents electricity from moving through the setup.
  10. 21. A material that will not allow electricity to pass through, which is why a wooden rod cannot be used to complete a loop.
  11. 22. A device used to break or complete a loop to control the flow of electricity in a setup.
  12. 24. The bottom point of a bulb base that acts as one of the two connection points needed to complete the path.
Down
  1. 1. A safety device that automatically trips and cuts off the electricity flow when the current becomes dangerously high.
  2. 3. A complete or incomplete loop formed by connecting components like cells, paths, and a light source.
  3. 4. A dangerous path of low resistance formed when electricity bypasses the main components, often causing a fire.
  4. 5. A material that does not allow electricity to pass through it, such as wood or plastic.
  5. 6. A component with a filament that converts electrical energy into light and heat energy when electricity passes through.
  6. 9. A source of electrical energy in a loop that provides the necessary push for electricity to move.
  7. 12. A material that allows electricity to pass through it easily, such as copper or iron.
  8. 14. A complete loop with no gaps that allows electricity to flow continuously so the light source lights up.
  9. 15. A material used to coat copper paths to prevent electricity from passing into our hands and causing a shock.
  10. 18. The continuous flow of electricity that moves through a complete loop from the positive to negative end.
  11. 19. A setup where electricity travels through only one path, so if one component is disconnected, the entire loop breaks.
  12. 23. A path typically made of copper that allows electricity to travel from the energy source to other components.
