 HEATING EFFECT OF ELECTRIC
CURRENT
• WHEN CURRENT FLOWS IN A CIRCUIT IT
SHOWS HEATING EFFECT,AS IT BECOMES HOT.
• USES OF HEATING EFFECT IS SEEN IN MANY
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES LIKE
HEATER,GEYSER,ELECTRIC IRON,IMMERSION
ROD ETC.
 ELECTRIC FUSE
• IT IS A SAFETY DEVICE WHICH WORKS ON
HEATING EFFECT OF ELECTRIC CURRENT,IT
PROTECTS THE APPLIANCES FROM ACCIDENTS
CAUSED DUE TO SHORT CIRCUIT OR
OVERLOADING. E.g MCB AND KIT-KAT TYPE
OF FUSE.
MAGNETIC EFFECT OF ELECTRIC CURRENT

• WHEN CURRENT FLOWS IN A CIRCUIT IT

BEHAVES LIKE MAGNET,IT SHOWS MAGNETIC
EFFECT OF CURRENT.
• ELECTROMAGNET
• USES OF ELECTROMAGNET
• ELECTRIC TRAINS,ELECTRIC CRANES,ELECTRIC
TOYS,MEDICAL FIELD,ELECTRIC BELL etc.
