Question
What is the heating effect of electric current?
Solution
When electricity is applied to a conductor that is solely resistive, all of the energy from the electric current is converted to heat. Resistor heats up as a result. Electric current's heating impact is defined as the heating of a resistor as a result of electrical energy loss.
