Who found heating effect of electric current?
Joule showed the heating effect due to the resistence of wire which cary the current.
State the situations where heating effect of electric current is undesirable?
negative effect of science .. with picture
What are the advantage and disadvantages of heating effect of current?
Disadvantages of the heating effect of electric currents are: short circuits, house fires, and explosions. Advantages of the heating effect of electric currents are: electric light, toasting food, and keeping a room warm.
Practical application of heating effects of electric current?
Disadvantages of the heating effect of electric currents are: short circuits, house fires, and explosions. Advantages of the heating effect of electric currents are: electric light, toasting food, and keeping a room warm.
Two examples of resistive heating?
An incandescent light bulb. An electric heater. A simple resistor. Basically most things that heat up when a current is passed through them do so due to the resistive nature of the load.
Heating Effect of Electric Current advantage?
Reliable, simple and safe. Heat can be regulated by changing the resistance in the circuit.
Who found heating effect of electric current?
Joule showed the heating effect due to the resistence of wire which cary the current.
Do toasters have a motor?
No. Toasters generally have heating elements, a mechanical or electronic timer, and a spring loaded tray on which toastable items rest. There are some larger industrial model toasters that do have electric motors that pass toastable items past the heating element, typically on a chain belt, but the toaster in your kitchen is not likely one of these.
What is used in heating toasters?
Electricity
What effect of current is utilised in bulb?
Heating effect of electric current.
State the situations where heating effect of electric current is undesirable?
negative effect of science .. with picture
Which type of substance would you use as a heating coil in an electric toasters?
I believe I would select NiChrome wire. It has a high resistance for a metal and is not particularly toxic or expensive.
What effects of electric current is involved in the fuse breaking?
Heating Effect.
Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does?
The heating element of an electric heater is a "resistor", the cord which conducts the electricity is not. The resistance of the element of an electric heater is very high. As current flows through the heating element, it becomes red hot and glows. On the other hand, the resistance of the cord is low. It does not become red hot when current flows through it.
What wire is used for an immersion heater?
An immersion electric heater usually uses nichrome wire as the heating element. Nichrome is highly resistive, and by applying a voltage, we can get it pretty hot. Nichrome is used as the heating element in toasters and on electric range elements as well as lots of other places.
