a region around a charged particle or object within which a force would be exerted on other charged particles or objects.
is a substance in which electrical charge carriers, usually electrons, move easily from atom to atom with the application of voltage.
is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely; very little electric current will flow through it under the influence of an electric field.
is often created when two objects that are not good electrical conductors are rubbed together, and electrons from one of the objects rub off onto the other.

is an object or a device that gives off an external magnetic field.
Either of the two ends of a magnet at which the field of the magnet is most intense.
attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles because of their motion.
the interaction currents of or fields and magnetic field
A fundamental force in nature, the electromagnetic force acts between charged particles and is the combination of all electrical and magnetic forces
is a long coil of wire wrapped in many turns. When a current passes through it, it creates a nearly uniform magnetic field inside.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crossword?

Crossword puzzles have been published in newspapers and other publications since 1873. They consist of a grid of squares where the player aims to write words both horizontally and vertically.

Next to the crossword will be a series of questions or clues, which relate to the various rows or lines of boxes in the crossword. The player reads the question or clue, and tries to find a word that answers the question in the same amount of letters as there are boxes in the related crossword row or line.

Some of the words will share letters, so will need to match up with each other. The words can vary in length and complexity, as can the clues.

Who is a crossword suitable for?

The fantastic thing about crosswords is, they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you need. You can use many words to create a complex crossword for adults, or just a couple of words for younger children.

Crosswords can use any word you like, big or small, so there are literally countless combinations that you can create for templates. It is easy to customise the template to the age or learning level of your students.
