P2 5 Current Electricity

Across
1. The unit of resistance, symbol .
7. 1. The potential difference across components in parallel is the same. 2. The total current
passing through components in parallel is shared between the components.

Down
1. The current through a resistor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the
potential difference across the resistor.
2. A conductor that has a constant resistance and therefore obeys Ohm’s law.
3. Components connected in a circuit so that the same current passes through them are in
series with each other.
4. The unit of potential difference, equal to energy transfer per unit charge in joules per
coulomb.
5. 1. The current through components in series is the same. 2. The total potential difference
across components in series is shared between the components.
6. Potential difference (in volts, V)/current (in amperes, A).
