You have seen that the heating effect of current can be put to good use . Can you think of situation where this effect results in wastage of energy.

Hey Lakshay!!!  : )
Here Is The Answer:

Consider This Situation:
In An Electric Bulb, The Electric Current Is Used To Heat The Filament. When The Filament Is Heated A Lot, It Results In The Production Of Light As Well As Heat. We Don't Require That Heat, Instead, We Require Light.
Thus, In This Situation, Heating Effect Is A Wastage Of Electricity.

More Situations Where Heating Effect Of Current Results In Wastage Of Energy Are:
1. Using A Tube light.
2. Using A Refrigerator.
3. Watching A Television.
4. Washing Clothes In A Washing Machine

Hope It Helps You!!!
