(i) Heating Effect of Current:
Electric Heater:
This device uses a heating element (usually a coil of wire) that becomes hot when electricity passes through it, generating heat.
Electric Iron:
Similarly, an electric iron uses a heating element to produce heat, allowing it to iron clothes.
(ii) Magnetic Effect of Current:
Electric Bell:
This device uses an electromagnet, which is created when a current passes through a coil of wire around an iron core. The electromagnet attracts a striker, causing the bell to ring.
Electric Motor:
Electric motors use the interaction between a magnetic field (created by electromagnets) and a current-carrying wire to generate rotational motion.
