उत्तर
- When an electric current passes through a wire, the electrical energy is converted to heat.
- In heating appliances, the heating element is made up of materials with high melting point. An example of such a material is nichrome (an alloy of nickel, iron and chromium).
- The heating effect of electric current has many practical applications.
- The electric bulb, geyser, iron box, immersible water heater are based on this effect.
- These appliances have heating coils of high resistance.
- Generation of heat due to electric current is known as the heating effect of electricity.
