 Effect of electric current

The useful form of energy into which a device

converts electrical energy, is considered as the
effect of electric current on that device.

How does electric energy changes into heat energy

Materials required;
. A nichrome wire of approximate length 5 cm
. 6 V storage battery
. Connection wires
How does the nichrome wire become red hot while
passing electricity through the circuit?

Nichrome has high resistance. So a large

amount of heat is produced on current passing
and through it.
 Law of conservation of energy

Energy can neither be created nor

destroyed. It can only be converted from
one form to another.
