Which of the following devices relies on the heating effect of electric current?
A. Electric iron
B. Electric generator
C. Transformer
D. Electric fan
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
An electric iron contains a heating element (usually nichrome). When electric current passes through this high-resistance element, it produces heat according to Joule's law (H = I²Rt). An electric fan uses the magnetic effect (motor), a generator uses electromagnetic induction, and a transformer uses mutual induction.
