Answer:
Yes, the given statement is correct. When charge flows through a conductor, its electric potential energy decreases. This loss in electric potential energy appears as increased heat energy of the resistor. Thus, heat energy is developed in a resistor when there is an electric current in it.

Yes, the given statement is correct.
Explanation:
- When Charge flows in the conductor then its electrical energy decreases due to his conductivity.
- The loss in electric potential energy appears as increased heat energy of the resistor. Hence, heat energy is developed in resistor when there is as an electric current flows in it.
- The heat is a form of energy that being transferred due to temperature difference between two points.
- The heating up the material solely depends on the properties of the material and this is precisely resistance.
