Answer:
When electric current passes through a high resistance wire, the electric energy is converted into heat energy which heats up the wire. This is called heating effect of electric current.
The heating effect of an electric current depends on three factors:
*The resistance, R of the conductor. A higher resistance produces more heat.
*The time, t for which current flows. The longer the time the larger the amount of heat produced
*The amount of current, I. the higher the current the larger the amount of heat generated.
