THE EFFECTS OF AN ELECTRIC CURRENT
- thermal
- luminous
- The heat generated by the current may be so
great that the conductor becomes
incandescent. For example, the filament of a
light bulb emits intense white light when
heated by a current.

- chemical
- Chlorine is generated by the electrolysis of salt water.
Electrolysis can also be used to break down water into
hydrogen and oxygen. Because pure water does not
conduct well, sulphuric acid has to be added before the
electrolysis takes place.
