insulating board so that the entire portion is approximately 4 inches long. The nichrome wire produces heat rapidly with an electric current due to the high level of electrical resistance that the twisted wire holds. This preview has intentionally blurred sections.
The power supplied to a circuit by a battery is calculated using P = VI. Batteries and power supplies supply power to a circuit, and this power is used up by motors as well as by anything that has resistance. The power dissipated in a resistor goes into heating the resistor; this is know as Joule heating. In many cases, Joule heating is wasted energy.
