2. | This is measured in volts (V) |
6. | The build-up of electrical charges on an object |
8. | Magnet made by wrapping a wire coil around an iron core |
9. | Increases or decreases the voltage of an alternating current |
10. | A device used to detect the presence of electric charges |
11. | A material that allows electrons to move easily through it |
12. | Measures potential differences |
15. | Induces electrical curent by rotating loops of wire through a magnetic field |
16. | Groups of atoms with aligned magnetic poles |
20. | The opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor |
22. | This is expressed in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) |
24. | An area surrounding an electron that exerts a force on anything nearby with an electric charge |
25. | A power source that acts as an electron pump; "dry" because it uses a thick, pasty electrolyte |
26. | Has no electrical resistance; current does not loose energy |
27. | It equals 1000 watts |
28. | A material that does not allow heat or electrons to move through it easily |
29. | An electrical circuit where the current has only one path. |
