Statement 1: Electric current (flow of electrons) creates heat in a resistor. Statement 2 : Heat in the resistor is created according to the law of energy conservation.
Explain Statement 1 with the help of Statement 2.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

i. When current flows through a resistor connected to a cell, energy provided by the cell is received by the resitor.
ii. According to law of conservation of energy, this energy is used to perform work on the resistor and is converted into heat energy.
