The heating effect of electric current is the phenomenon where electric energy is converted into heat energy as current flows through a conductor.
This principle is applied in devices like electric heaters, irons, and fuses.
Fuse is a safety device that melts and breaks the circuit if current exceeds a certain safe value, preventing damage or fire.
The power dissipated as heat can be calculated using P = V × I
or P = I² × R
.
