The equation for calculating the heat energy released by the heating effect of electric current is given by the following equation : -

H = I²Rt

Where H stands for heat energy, I for electric current, R for resistance and t for time.

The heat energy released from a piece of wire or any other section of a circuit is:

Energy = (voltage between its ends) x (current through it) x (time it's been going)
