Physics crossword 9

?
is a material composed of two or more metals, or a mixture of metals and other materials
alloy
1 of 9
symbol G, is the ratio I/V for a circuit component, and is measured in siemens (S)
conductance
2 of 9
an older term for a generator now sometimes reserved for a d.c. generator
dynamo
3 of 9
an oscillation driven by the action of a periodic driving force
forced oscillation
4 of 9
arises from the superposition of waves on top of one another. It is produced if waves from two coherent sources overlap of if waves from a single source are divided and then reunited
interference
5 of 9
a strong bond between the ion cores in a solid metal due to a delocalised electron 'gas' circulating in the lattice
metallic bond
6 of 9
used to represent amplitude and phase in a wave. It is a rotating arrow used to represent a sinusoidally changing quantity
phasor
7 of 9
a force acting in the direction of the equilibrium position, in simple harmonic motion
restoring force
8 of 9
for the discharge circuit of a capacitor, the product RC of the resistance in the circuit and the capacitance - the time taken for the p.d. and charge C on a capacitor to fall to 1/e of their original values when discharging through resistance R
time constant
