In the last segment, we learnt about battery and series combination of cells. In this segment, we are going to learn about the heating effect of electric current and how does an incandescent bulb work?
Heating Effect of Electric Current
Electric current heats up the objects through which it flows because of the resistance provided by the objects to the flow of current. This effect generated by the current is called the heating effect of electric current.
There are various electrical appliances that work on the principle of heating effect of current like electric iron, heaters, electric bulbs, etc.
Electrical Appliances
We are going to understand the working of an electric bulb.
How does an incandescent bulb work?
We know that an electric bulb consists of a filament connected to the ends of two thin rods inside a bulb. This filament is made up of tungsten.
