Question

6. An electric wire connected in a circuit gets heated up when the current
flows through it.This is due to
(a) heating effect of current
(b) electric effect of current
(c)magnetic effect of current
d) All of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) heating effect of electric current

Answer 2

$\huge{ \underline{\bf{Solution:-}}}$

This is because of $\red{\textsf{Heating effect of current}}$

Hence, Option (A) is right

$\huge{ \underline{\bf{Explanation:-}}}$

Because the wires having electrical resistance, that means that they resist the motion of electrons, the electrons bump into atoms on the outside of the wire, and some of their kinetic energy is given to the atoms as thermal energy. This thermal energy causes the wire to heat up.

Hence, electric wire heated up due to heating effect of current.

• $\underline{\pink{\textsf{Heating Effect of Current:}}}$ When electric current passes through any wire and the wire gets heated. This is known as heating effect of current.

• $\underline{\pink{\textsf{Magnetic Effect of Current:}}}$ When electric current passes through any wire, it generates magnetic field around it and behaves like an magnet. This is known as magnetic effect of current.

• $\underline{\pink{\textsf{Chemical Effect of Current:}}}$ When electric current passes through a conducting liquid causes chemical reactions in it. This effect is known as Chemical Effect of Current.
