When electric current flows in a purely resistive circuit electrical energy gets fully converted into heat energy. The amount of heat produced () in the circuit is found to be directly proportional to
- (i)the square of current ()
- (ii)the resistance () of the conductor and
- (iii)the time () for which current flows. In other words . Electrical devices such an electric fuse, electric heater, electric iron etc. are all based on this effect called heating effect of electric current.
