The above statement is true.
When an electric current is passed through a conductor, it gets heated up due to the resistance in the path of moving electrons. This is called the heating effect of electric current. Electric current's heating effect is used in the operation of electrical heating appliances such as an electric room heater, an electric iron, an electric kettle, an electric toaster, an electric oven, a water heater (geyser), an immersion rod, and a soldering iron, among others.
