Which appliances operate using the heating effect of current?

Verified Answer

Appliances that operate using the heating effect of electric current convert electrical energy into heat energy. This happens when current passes through a high-resistance material, producing heat.

Common examples include:

  • Electric iron
  • Room heater
  • Toaster
  • Electric kettle
  • Geyser (water heater)
  • Electric stove or induction cooktop

In these devices, components like nichrome wires are used as heating elements because they can withstand high temperatures and produce heat efficiently.

These appliances are designed to utilize heat for practical purposes, such as cooking, heating water, or ironing clothes.
