explain the heating effect of electric current
Answers
Answer:
When electric current is supplied to a purely resistive conductor, the energy of electric current is dissipated entirely in the form of heat and as a result, resistor gets heated. The heating of resistor because of dissipation of electrical energy is commonly known as Heating Effect of Electric Current.

pls follow me I will follow u back and mark my answer as brainlist pls
Explanation:
When an electric current is passed through a conductor, it generates heat due to the hindrance caused by the conductor to the flowing current. The work done in overcoming the hindrance to the current generates heat in that conductor.Following are the devices in which heating effect of current is harnessed for other purposes:
Electric Iron:
Mica is an insulator that is placed between the metal part and the coil in an iron. The coil becomes heated with the passage of current which is then transferred to the metallic part through mica. Finally, the metal part becomes heated which is then used for ironing clothes.
