Explanation:
When an electric current flows in a circuit it can have one or more of the following three effects: heating, magnetic or chemical.
Heating Effect
- The electrons moving in the conductor cause the conductor to heat up
- The amount of heat generated depends upon the :
- amount of current flowing
- dimensions of the conductors
- type of conductor material used
- Practical applications of the heating effect of an electric current are :
- radiant heaters which heat rooms
- circuit protection fuses and MCBs which cut off the supply when an overcurrent flows.
Magnetic Effect
- Whenever a current flows in a conductor a magnetic field is set up around the conductor like an extension of the insulation – more about this later
- Increasing the current increases the magnetic field
- Switching the current off causes the magnetic field to collapse
- Practical applications of the magnetic effect are:
- electric motors which rotate because of the magnetic flux generated by the electrical supply
- door chimes and buzzers which ding dong or buzz because of the magnetic flux generated by the electrical supply.
Chemical Effect
- When an electric current flows through a conducting liquid, the liquid separates into its chemical parts, a process called electrolysis
- Alternatively, if two metals are placed in a conducting liquid they react chemically and produce a voltage
- Practical applications of the chemical effect are:
- industrial processes such as electroplating which is used to silver plate sports trophies and cutlery
- motor car batteries which store electrical energy.
