What is cause of heat produced in a conductor when current flows through it?

A current of 10 A flow around a closed path in a circuit which is in the horizontal plane as shown in the figure. The circuit consists of eight alternative arcs of radii r_(1)=0.08m and r_(2)=0.12m . Each subtends the same angle at the centre. An infinitely long straight wire carrying a current of 10 A is passing throgh the entre of the above circuit vertically with the direction of the current being into the plane of the circuit. What is the force acting on the wire at the centre due to the current in the circuit? What is the force acting on the arc AC and the straight segment CD due to the current at the centre?

What is meant by Joule's heating effect due to flow of current through a conductor?

A uniform magnetic field of 1.5 T exists in a cylindrical region of radius10.0 cm, its direction parallel to the axis along east to west. A wire carrying current of 7.0 A in the north to south direction passes through this region. What is the magnitude and direction of the force on the wire if, the wire in the N-S direction is lowered from the axis by a distance of 6.0 cm?
