Question

explain the heating effect of electric current​

Answer 1

Hi

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.

Hope it is helpful....

Answer 2

★ Question :

Explain the heating effect of electric current

★ Solution :

1. When an electric current passes through a wire, the electrical energy is converted to heat.
2. In heating appliances, the heating element is made up of materials with high melting point. An example of such a material is nichrome (an alloy of nickel, iron and chromium).
3. The heating effect of electric current has many practical applications.
4. The electric bulb, geyser, iron box, immersible water heater are based on this effect.
5. These appliances have heating coils of high resistance.
6. Generation of heat due to electric current is known as the heating effect of electricity.
