UNIT 1 Digital principles system design 1. basic electronics crossword puzzle game Hints 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Is the flow of electrical energy through some conductive material. Is a measure of the magnitude of the flow of electrons in a circuit. It is measured in Amperes, or Amps. Many people explain electrical flow by using water flow as an analogy. Is a measure of the electrical energy of a circuit. It is measured in Volts. In the water analogy, it would be the water pressure. Is a measure of a material's ability to oppose the flow of electricity. It is measured in Ohms. Is a closed loop containing a source of electrical energy (like a battery) and a load (like a light bulb). Is a construction base for a one-of-a-kind electronic circuit, a prototype. Doesn't need soldering. A semiconductor diode that emits light when conducting current and is used in electronic equipment, especially for displaying readings on digital watches, calculators, etc. It is a simple electro-mechanical transducer. It converts rotary or linear motion from the operator into a change of resistance, and this change is (or can be) used to control anything from the volume of a hi-fi system to the direction of a huge container 2.

(circuit) a circuit with no breaks or interruptions (allows electricity to move). a circuit with a break in it (stops electricity from moving). (circuit) a circuit where different parts of the circuit are on separate. (circuit) a basic circuit consisting of three elements: a conductor, a load (object using electricity), and an energy source. material that permits electric charge. material that does not permit electrical charge. continuous flow of electrons. 10. a device that can open or close an electric circuit. 11. a measure of how well a given material will conduct electricity. 12. a battery that changes chemical energy into electrical energy. 3.
