Found words stay highlighted, so the grid gets easier to read as you go and the final few tend to fall quickly.
Electricity word list, defined
- ELECTRICITY /ɪˌlɛkˈtrɪsɪti/ · noun
- A form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles such as electrons or protons, either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current; the supply or use of this energy, especially as a public utility for lighting, heating, and powering devices. Related: power, energy, current, voltage.
- 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.
- RESISTANCE /rɪˈzɪstəns/ · noun
- Resistance is opposition to force, control, influence, or change, especially a deliberate refusal to comply or yield. In technical contexts, it denotes the opposition offered to motion, electrical current, disease, or another physical process. Related: opposition, defiance, refusal, protest.
- CIRCUIT /ˈsɜːkɪt/ (British), /ˈsɜːrkət/ (US) · noun, verb
- A closed path that an electric current flows around, or a complete route or circuitous journey that begins and ends at the same point. As a verb, to circuit is to travel around or make a circuit of something. Related: loop, route, round, path.
- CONDUCTOR /kənˈdʌktər/ · noun
- A person who directs the performance of an orchestra or choir, or a person who collects fares and oversees passengers on a train or bus. In physics, a conductor is a material or substance that allows heat or electricity to pass through it. Related: director, maestro, marshal, collector.
- INSULATOR /ɪnˈsuːlətər/ · noun
- A material or device that reduces or prevents the transfer of heat, electricity, or sound. By extension, a person or thing that prevents communication, interaction, or influence between people or groups. Related: barrier, insulating material, isolator, shield.
- BATTERY /ˈbætəri/ · noun
- A device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, typically consisting of one or more cells, used as a portable source of power. In law, battery also denotes the unlawful physical striking of another person. Related: cell, power pack, accumulator, assault.
- AMPERAGE /ˈæm.pər.ɪdʒ/ · noun
- The strength of an electric current, expressed in amperes. It measures the rate at which electric charge flows through a conductor. Related: current strength, current, amp rating.
- WATT /wɒt/ (British); /wɑːt/ (American) · noun
- A unit of power in the International System of Units, equal to one joule per second. It is named after the Scottish engineer James Watt.
- CHARGE /tʃɑːrdʒ/ · noun, verb
- As a noun, a charge is a formal accusation of wrongdoing, an amount demanded as payment, or an electrical load; as a verb, it means to demand payment, to accuse formally, or to rush forward in attack. Related: fee, accusation, cost, attack.
- ELECTRON /ɪˈlɛktrɒn/ · noun
- A stable subatomic particle with a negative electric charge, found in all atoms and moving around the nucleus. Electrons are the primary carriers of electricity in solids and are responsible for chemical bonding. Related: negatron, subatomic particle, charged particle, beta particle.
