What is meant by the heating effect of current?
Advertisements
उत्तर
When an electric current is passed through a high resistance wire, like nichrome wire, the resistance wire becomes very hot and produces heat. This is called the heating effect of current. The heating effect of current is obtained by transforming electrical energy into heat energy.
