Technical data

The heat effect of electric current

Item No. P6101500

Principle

The students examine the behaviour of a thin, conductive wire in an electric circuit, observe that the wire heats up due to the current flow and draw the conclusion that electric current can be used for heating, but also that heating is an undesired secondary effect of electric conductors.

Benefits

Experiment guides are very easy to understand, especially for younger students
Associated competences are directly linked to the experiments
Curriculum compatible
Fit for the future: implementation of tablets possible
