Michael Faraday Word Search
Play a Michael Faraday word search free online. We built the 12-word list around the life, work, and legacy of a famous figure, then scattered it across a 15×15 grid — horizontal, vertical and diagonal. Find them all to clear the board.
Words to find: INDUCTION, ELECTROLYSIS, FIELD, FORCE, DYNAMO, GENERATOR, MOTOR, MAGNET, CURRENT, VOLTAGE, ROTATION, LINES.
Found words stay highlighted, so the grid gets easier to read as you go and the final few tend to fall quickly.
Michael Faraday word list, defined
- INDUCTION /ɪnˈdʌkʃən/ · noun
- The process of bringing something about, introducing someone into a role or activity, or causing a particular state or reaction. In science, mathematics, medicine, and electrical engineering, induction refers to more specific established processes. Related: introduction, initiation, installation, establishment.
- ELECTROLYSIS /ɪˌlɛkˈtrɒlɪsɪs/ (UK), /ɪˌlɛkˈtrɑːləsɪs/ (US) · noun
- A process in which a direct electric current is passed through an electrolyte to bring about a chemical reaction, typically decomposing a compound into its constituent elements; also, the removal of body hair by destroying hair follicles with an electric current. Related: electrochemical decomposition, ionization, galvanolysis, electrolytic separation.
- FIELD /fiːld/ · noun (also verb)
- An area of open land, especially one used for growing crops or grazing animals; more broadly, a sphere of activity, interest, or study, and in physics a region of space in which a particular force is exerted. Related: meadow, pasture, paddock, domain.
- FORCE /fɔːrs/ · noun
- Physical strength, energy, or power exerted on an object or person; also, coercion or compulsion, or an organized body such as a police or military force. Related: power, strength, might, energy.
- DYNAMO /ˈdaɪnəmoʊ/ · noun
- A dynamo is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, especially a direct-current generator. Informally, a dynamo is a person who is exceptionally energetic, forceful, and productive. Related: generator, live wire, go-getter, powerhouse.
- GENERATOR /ˈdʒenəˌreɪtər/ · noun
- A generator is a machine, device, or person that generates something; most commonly, it is a machine that converts mechanical or other energy into electrical power. Related: power plant, producer, dynamo, alternator.
- MOTOR /ˈmoʊtər/ · noun
- A machine or engine that converts electrical, chemical, or other energy into mechanical motion. By extension, “motor” can informally mean a motor vehicle. Related: engine, machine, actuator.
- MAGNET /ˈmæɡnɪt/ · noun
- An object, usually made of iron, steel, or another magnetic material, that produces a magnetic field and attracts or repels magnetic materials. By extension, a person, place, or thing that powerfully attracts attention or interest. Related: attractor, lodestone.
- CURRENT /ˈkʌrənt/ · noun, adjective
- As a noun, current denotes a steady flow of water or air in a definite direction, or the flow of electric charge through a conductor. As an adjective, it describes something belonging to, happening in, or generally accepted at the present time. Related: present, contemporary, flow, stream.
- VOLTAGE /ˈvoʊltɪdʒ/ · noun
- An electric potential difference between two points, measured in volts. By extension, it can refer figuratively to intense emotional or nervous tension. Related: potential difference, electric potential, electromotive force.
- ROTATION /roʊˈteɪʃən/ · noun
- The act of turning or being turned around an axis or point. It can also refer to a cyclical process in which people, positions, crops, or activities take turns in succession. Related: revolution, turn, cycle, recurrence.
- LINES /laɪnz/ · noun (plural); verb (third-person singular present)
- The regular plural of line, referring to rows of marks or people, boundaries, transport routes, channels of communication, written or spoken text, or related products. As a verb form, it means to arrange or mark something with lines, especially by lining it up. Related: rows, strokes, routes, queues.
