Answer:
when an electric current flows through a conductor, power is dissipated in the form of heat.
It is basically the work done for charges to flow inside the conductor per unit time.Power dissipated is proportional to square of current and resistance of the conductor.
P=I²R
It has been derived from the Joule's equation of electrical heating. Heating effect is observed in the conductors which is proportional to the current, resistance and amount of time for which current flows in the conductor.
