Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

That electrical energy will be dissipated in the form of heat, heating up the wire in the process. This heating is called Joule heating (James Prescott Joule) or ohmic heating or resistive heating. Which tells us that lower resistance (R) will produce higher current. Therefore lower resistance produces more heat.
