Advantages of heating effect in electric current?(maximum 5 points for each)
Answers
Answer:
Only used in applications
Explanation:
It can be used in:
Electric water heater
Electric Furnace
Voltage drop (i,e heating causes resistance)
To produce light (in Tungsten)
It is used in Fuse (to protect short circuit as fuse melts on overheating caused by excessive current)
Answer:
Advantages of Heating effect of current:
1. The heating effect of electric current is put to good use in room heaters and water heating coils where electricity is converted into heat energy.
2. An electric bulb also exploits the effect. The filament of the bulb is made of Tungsten metal, which glows when heated by the electric current flowing through it, thus giving out light.
3. An electric fuse also uses the heating effect of electric current. A fuse is rated for a specific amperage. When the current through it exceeds its rating, the heat produced melts the fuse wire thus opening the circuit.
