Producing electrical effects

Chemical Effect:

Current produces this effect when it passes through a ______ compound and breaks up that compound.

What is the chemical effect also known as?

Electrolytic decomposition,

What is Electrolytic decomposition used in?

Electroplating, a process used to cover objects with a very thin coating of metal

Heat effect:

Conducting electricity causes wires to become heated

Heat develops because:

The current must overcome the resistance of the wire

This heat energy can be quite obvious or hardly noticeable to touch:

Depending on the size of the wire and the amount of current

Magnetic Effect:

When a wire is introduced into a _____ field, electricity flows through the wire and creates a ______ field that repels a magnet

What is a magnetic effect used to:

Create energy through electromagnetic induction, the basic principle behind the electric generator

If the wire is wrapped around an iron core and a current is sent through the wire:

The iron becomes magnetized

Physiological Effect:

Current produces this effect when it passes through your bicep(or any of your muscles, for that matter) and causes the muscle to contract. this effect is used in medicine
