BoardSpecStatement
Edexcel GCSE 1PH010.22Recall that, when there is an electric current in a resistor, there is an energy transfer which heats the resistor
Edexcel GCSE 1PH010.23Explain that electrical energy is dissipated as thermal energy in the surroundings when an electrical current does work against electrical resistance
Edexcel GCSE 1PH010.24Explain the energy transfer (in 10.22 above) as the result of collisions between electrons and the ions in the lattice
Edexcel GCSE 1PH010.26Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the heating effect of an electric current
For teachers

This GCSE Physics lesson teaches the heating effect of a current. It suits Foundation and Higher tier students.
