Across
- 2. The flow of electric charge (electrons) around a circuit, measured in amperes (A).
- 4. A form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (like electrons), which provides power for lights, appliances, and machines.
- 5. A type of energy source that is naturally replenished and will not run out, such as solar, wind, or hydropower.
- 7. A material (like metal) that allows electricity or heat to flow through it easily.
- 11. Energy that comes from the heat stored deep within the Earth, used to generate electricity or provide heating.
- 12. A complete, unbroken path that allows an electric current to flow from a power source, through components (like a bulb), and back to the source.
- 13. A device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy to power a circuit.
- 14. The "push" or force from a power source (like a battery) that drives the electric current through a circuit, measured in volts (V).
Down
- 1. The ability to do work or cause change. Electricity is one important form of energy.
- 3. A machine that converts mechanical energy (from moving water, wind, or steam) into electrical energy.
- 6. A material (like rubber or plastic) that does not allow electricity or heat to flow through it easily, used for safety.
- 8. A safety device in a circuit that contains a thin wire which melts and breaks the circuit if the current becomes too high.
- 9. A machine with blades that is made to spin by moving water, steam, wind, or gas. It is connected to a generator to produce electricity.
- 10. Energy that comes from the sun, which can be converted into electricity using solar panels.
- 13. Organic material from plants or animals (like wood, crops, or waste) that can be burned or processed to produce energy.
