Electricity

Electricity is the most widely used form


of energy we cannot see electricity, but
we can see its effects. The Electricity
can produce different types of effects.
Basically the effect of electricity is
conversion of Electrical energy into
other form of energy, such as Light,
Heat etc.
When electric current flows in a circuit,
it produces various effects such as
Heating Effect
Magnetic Effect
Chemical Effect
Out of the above three effects Heating
effect and magnetic effect are
predominant.
Heating effect of electric current
When a potential difference or Voltage is applied
across the ends of a conductive metallic wire, the
free electrons begin forced to move. When the
electrons move the (x) electrons collide with the
atoms. In these collisions, energy of the electrons
is transferred to the atom and the atoms U begin
to vibrate more violently.
