Across
- 1. Electrical power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred or converted into work in a circuit
- 3. Electricity is a form of energy from the presence and motion of electric charges, most commonly the flow of electrons
- 4. In a series circuit, the current is the same at every point and through every component because there is only one path for the electrons to flow
- 7. Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge, typically measured in amperes (A)
- 9. Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a conductor, measured in ohms
Down
- 1. Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge, typically measured in amperes (A)
- 2. An electron is a fundamental subatomic particle with a negative electric charge
- 5. An electromagnet is a temporary magnet that produces a magnetic field when an electric current flows through a coil of wire, usually wrapped around a ferromagnetic core like an iron bar
- 6. A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit with multiple paths for current to flow, allowing components to operate independently because they each have their own direct connection to the power source
- 8. An electrical insulator is a material that resists the flow of electric current by having tightly bound electrons that cannot move freely
