Effects of Electric Current
Tech Rumination by Anirudh Effects of Electric Current Did you know that electric current has different effects? In this Blog Post, we are going to explore the three effects of electric current: the heating effect , the magnetic effect , and the chemical effect . Heating effect of electric current : When electric current passes through a conductor, it produces heat, which is known as the heating effect of electric current. Electric bulbs produce light as the current flows through their filaments. Such bulbs are known as incandescent bulbs. Sandwich makers, geysers, and some electric kettles also use this phenomenon. In ancient engineering, a device called a fuse was used for safety, which worked with the heating effect of electric current. A fuse is a glass cylinder with metal edges, and a thin metal wire connects both the metal edges from inside. This wire melts when excess current flows through it due to the heating effect of electri...
