Electric power has to be used when it is produced, it can't be stored in a reservoir, so at any time in the day the supply must be matched to the demand. The demand can of course include methods of storage such as pumped hydro schemes, or rechargeable batteries, but that is not direct storage of the electrical power.

What is the relation between the amount of electric current passed and the heat produced?

The relation is:P = I2RWhere:I is the current (for example, in amperes)R is the resistance (for example, in ohms)P is the power (energy per second) converted from electrical energy to heat. If the current is in amperes and the resistance in ohms, then power is in watts (equal to joules/second).


When is current produced?

Electric current is produced when there is a flow of electric charge in a circuit. This flow of charge is typically generated by a voltage source, such as a battery or power supply, which creates a potential difference that pushes the electrical charge around the circuit.

What is the relation between the size of the resistor and its value?

There is no relation between the resistor's ohms value and its size. The power of the resistor can be seen by its size. If the power is too small, the resistor can be destroyed.


Describe the relation between the size of your source and electric current?

The current drawn from a power source is directly proportional to the voltage of thesource, and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit between its terminals.There is no relationship between the current and the physical size of the source.
