Electric heater is the effect of electric current
Correct answer: A. Heating effect
- A. Heating effect
- B. Chemical effect
- C. Magnetic effect
- D. None of above
Explanation
An electric heater operates by converting electrical energy into heat energy. When electric current flows through the heating element of the heater, the resistance in the element causes the electrical energy to be converted into heat, warming up the surroundings. This process is known as the heating effect of electric current.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
