How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Goshia [24]3 years ago
5 0
To do that, you must pass electric current through a substance
that electrons have to spend energy to pass through. 
The substance will be one that gets warm and dissipates heat
when electric current flows through it.
We'll say that the substance has "resistance", which we can measure.
The amount of heat that appears when current flows through it
will be (current²)·(resistance).

A few examples of things used for that purpose:

-- resistors
-- burners on electric stoves
-- coils of resistor-wire in a toaster
-- aquarium heater
-- electric clothes iron
-- electric coffee pot
-- blow-dryer
-- electric hair-curling iron
-- skinny tungsten wire in a light-bulb .

If an object is projected upward with an initial velocity of 127 ft per? sec, its height h after t seconds is h equals negative
Stolb23 [73]
To determine the height of the object given the time, we simply use the given relation between height and time in the problem statement. It is given as:

h = -16t^2 + 127t

We substitute 55 seconds to t and obtain,

h = -16(55)^2 + 127(55)
h = - 41415

The melting of polar ice is one effect of
Stels [109]
The melting of polar ice is one effect of the greenhouse effect, or also global warming.

The greenhouse effect, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is "the <span>warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet (as Earth or Venus) that is caused by conversion of solar radiation into heat in a process involving selective transmission of short wave solar radiation by the atmosphere, its absorption by the planet's surface, and reradiation as infrared which is absorbed and partly reradiated back to the surface by atmospheric gases".

In short, "</span>the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet".
