Question

What are the two effects seen when electric current is passed through a conductor. Define them.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Heating effect of electric current :- When electric current passes through a conductor, it increases the temperature of the conductor. This is called heating effect of electric current.

2. Magnetic effect of electric current :- When electric current passes through a conductor, a magnetic field is created around the conductor. This is called magnetic effect of electric current.

Answer 2

Answer:

Heating effect and magnetic effect

Explanation:

• Heating effect - When electric current passes through a conductor, a part of it gets converted into heat energy and the conductor gets heated. This is known as heating effect of electric current. A geyser, toaster and room heater work on heating effect of electric current.

• Magnetic effect - When electric current passes through a conductor, the conductor acts as a magnet, as long as electricity passes through it. This is known as magnetic effect of electric current. An electromagnet works on magnetic effect of electric current.
