Question

what do you mean by heating effect of electric current? ​

Answer 1

the production of heat due to flow of current is called heating effect of current

Answer 2

when current flows through a conductor,heat energy is generated in the conductor.the heating effect of an electric current depends on three factors:-

1.the resistance ,R of the conductor . a higher resistance produces more heat.

2.the time, T for which current flows .the longer the time the larger the amount of heat produced .

3.the amount of current ,the higher the current the larger the amount of heat generated .

• hence the heating effect prodoced by an electric current ,through a conductor of resistance,R for a time,it is given by H=1square RT.this equation is called the joule's equation of electrical heating
