POWER AND ENERGY IN THE CIRCUIT

The electric current can have many uses: lighting, heating, a means of communication, the production of mechanical energy, etc

In all cases there is a point in common: the transformation of electric energy into another form of energy. The control will allow you to study the simplest of these conversions, the production of heat from an electric current.
