Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The phenomenon of generating heat due to the resistance when a current passes through it is known as the heating effect of electricity. Some power is dissipated as thermal power. This method means that if an electric current flows through a resistor, the resistor will warm up. This is because electrons collide with ions withinside the lattice of the resistor. As the electrons come across the ions, power is transferred, inflicting the ions to vibrate and warm up.
