उत्तर
The metallic wire gets heated up on passing an electric current through it due to collisions of free electrons and energy is transferred to the positive ions which begin to vibrate more violently, causing to produce heat. It is possible to melt the wire by passing a heavy current. The wire will melt when its temperature due to heating reaches its melting point.
