Answer: copy explanation or shorten it(:

Explanation: Electric currents generate heat as they pass through resistive elements of a circuit. The higher the resistance of a conductor, the more heat will be generated as current passes through it. Thus, the generation of heat by electric current as it passes through a conductor is an inevitable consequence.
