The resistance of the electrical conductor, eg a wire, reduces the current which can flow in the circuit. The remaining current which does flow generates heat, representing the electrical energy which has been lost in overcoming the resistance.

What is the force that generates heat when two objects are rubbing?
Friction
Why a hair dryer has a high- heat setting with a lower resistance than the low-heat setting?
Because a higher resistance would have resulted in more heat loss, but the higher is he current, the more energy is lost to heat. Therefore, a lower resistance would release more heat.AnswerPower is equal to voltage squared divided by resistance. So, for a given voltage, the lower the resistance the higherthe power.
How sun generates energy?
By heat released from continuous nuclear fission and fusion process.
How does the muscular system generate heat?
This isn't a very good answer, but I pretty sure it doesn't. Only Wiki says it does, but there is no proof. So don't coun't on wiki for an answer. You won't regret it.
Will taking heat out of air raise or lower the temperature?
Heat is what causestemperatureto be raised, so if you take heat out, it would lowerthetemperature.
How does a pilot light switch work?
It senses heat and generates a tiny electric current that triggers a valve in the regulator.
What doesn't belong maintains posture movement promotes growth or generates heat?
generates heat
Which organ of the body generates the most heat?
Liver is the organ, which generates the most heat in the body. Liver has heavy blood supply and is the principle organ of metabolism. So it is the organ which generates the most heat in the body.
What is the heating effect of electrical current?
As the current flows through the wire it increases the kinetic energy by increasing the vibration of the metal atoms. i.e. it generates heat in the wire
How an electric iron works?
Basically you apply a voltage to a load (the iron's heating element) which induces a current. The current through the load generates heat according to the formula Power = Current^2 * Resistance.
How do astronomers think Saturn generates its internal heat?
by raining dense helium droplets from higher to lower altitudes, resembling the process of differentiation
What are the uses of heat in your daily life?
You need heat to keep warm, have a warm shower, heat is what generates electricity (kinitetic energy),heat is what makes your food hot to eat and finally heat is what is needed to grow food for yourself.
What generates heat to the body?
skin
How is the microwave used in heating?
it generates energy from light and heat. Which causes food to have moisture in it. It makes food cook faster or defrost faster.
What is the major properties of water that make it so vital to the proper functioning of the body with high heat?
At high temperatures water regulates the bodies temperature, the bodies temp needs to be about 36.7, but as it functions the body generates heat, If the surroundings are hot the body can't lose the heat it generates to the air, so water is excreted as sweat to lower the body temperture
In a shorted circuit what happens to the temperature of the wires?
In a shorted circuit, the temperature of the wires increases. This is because the wires are not perfect conductors - they have resistance - so the large fault current that flows generates a voltage across the wires, which then generates power, generating heat.
Does heat affect the floppy disk?
OKAY!i think the answer is yes it does because as the heat generates it makes the disk hot and it tends to make mistakes in the floppy disk.I just think this is the correct answer but I am not sure,though.
