Q. How does an electric heater or an electric iron work?
Irons are rather simple in how they work. They work like an electric heater. They have a heating element made out of a metal alloy that gets hot when electricity is applied. The current through the iron’s heating element generates heat according to the formula Power = Current^2 * Resistance.
Q. What effect of electricity is the electric iron based on?
An electric iron is based upon the principle of heating effect of current. This principle states that when an electric current is passed through a conductor, it generates heat because of the resistance present in it. The resistance converts electrical energy into heat energy.
