 Basic
• Electric current is expressed by the amount of charge flowing through a
particular area in unit time.

• The potential difference between two points in an electric circuit is defined

as the amount of work done in moving a unit charge from one point to the
other point.

V = W/Q

CASE STUDY
• Whenever an electric
current is passed through a
conductor, its gets heated
up.
• This means that part of
electrical energy passing
through the conductor get
converted into heat energy
• This effect is known as
heating effect of electric
current

 Joules law of heating
• The law implies that heat produced in a resistor is

(i) directly proportional to the square of current for a given resistance,

(ii) directly proportional to resistance for a given current,

and

(iii) directly proportional to the time for which the current flows through the
resistor.

The heat produced in a conductor due to current
passing through it depends on three factors.
