An electric current can produce

Question:

An electric current can produce

(a) heating effect

(b) chemical effect

(c) magnetic effect

(d) chemical, heating and magnetic effects

Solution:

(d) When an electric current is passed through a conducting solution, it causes chemical reactions. The resulting effect is called chemical effect of

current.

When an electric current is passed through a bulb, its filament gets heated to a high temperature and bulb starts glowing. The resulting effect is

heating effect of current. Whenever an electric current te passed through a circuit, a magnetic field is produced around it. The resulting effect is

magnetic effect of current. Thus, an electric current can produce chemical, heating and magnetic effects.
