Resistive heating occurs when electrical current flows through a material with resistance, causing the material to heat up. If the heat generated is not properly dissipated, it can accumulate and lead to a fire if the material's ignition temperature is reached. Overloading electrical circuits, using damaged electrical cords, or faulty connections are common causes of resistive heating and potential fire hazards.
What else can I help you with?
How do heaters create energy?
Heaters do not create energy. Instead, they convert electrical energy into heat energy through a process called resistive heating. When electricity flows through a resistive element in the heater, the resistance in the element causes it to heat up and produce warmth.
How does a space heater primarily convert electrical energy into heat?
A space heater primarily converts electrical energy into heat through a process called resistive heating. When electricity flows through a resistive element in the heater, the resistance in the element causes it to heat up and generate heat that warms the surrounding air.
Is a microwave a resistive load?
Yes, a microwave is a resistive load as it converts electrical energy into heat through the resistance of its components. When plugged in, the microwave's heating element creates resistance to the flow of electricity, generating heat to cook food.
What causes heating in wire?
Heating in wire is caused by the flow of current through the wire. The resistance in the wire causes energy to be converted into heat as the electrons move. This heating effect is known as Joule heating.
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.
Is ac better than dc for resistive heating?
no, heating is identical
What causes heating effect when current flows?
The resistance factors to the current flow in the circuit is what causes the heating effect in a circuit. This resistance usually comes from the load that is connected to the circuit. For example a baseboard heater is a completely resistive load and the result of the heating of the device can be used to heat a room in the home.
What does fire restitive mean?
Something that is not easy to light on fire is fire resistive.
How do heaters create energy?

What is the major difference between noncombustible construction and fire resistive construction?
Basically non combustible and fire resistive are the same. Difference is non combustible has steel frame members that are unprotected or limited protected. Fire resistive has protected steel frame members with a fire rated material such as concrete.
Where does lost energy in a rheostat go?
It is lost in heating the resistive material of the rheostat.
What is the role of resistors in household appliances?
Probably the most common resistor in a household appliance is the resistive heating element. They appear in an electrical stove or range. The standard electric range and its oven have resistive heating elements in them. They're just "oversized" resistors that get really hot when we run current through them. Toasters have resistive heating elements, too. Most of the use nichrome in the form of wire or in little flat strips. Some have quartz heating elements, which have that resistive heating element inside quartz or fused silica glass. Coffee makers have resistive heating elements. Toaster ovens, too. Hair dryers and straightners? Yup. Anything that plugs in and is designed to get hot probably has a resistive heating element in it. There are actual resistors, like the electronic components, in all the electronic equipment in the house. All of it. They may be discreet components, or may be part of an integrated circuit. But they're there.
What type of structure is fire resistive?
Type your answer here... asbestos

What type of load is elecric stove?
resistive load. I assume that the stove you are reffering is with heating coils.
Is brick considered fire resistive?
Yes, heat just hardens them
What is rear window defogger?
This is normally a resistive heating fixed to the inner surface of the glass of the rear screen.
