Joule's law and the Joule effect
The thermal effect of the electric current is represented by the dissipation of heat in a conductor crossed by an electric current.
This is due to the interaction of current particles (usually electrons) with the atoms of the conductor, interactions by which the former yield to the latter of their kinetic energy, contributing to the increase of thermal agitation in the mass of the conductor.

H = I ² ∙ R ∙ t

where:

H or E - amount of heat or energy, [H] = J (Joule)
I - electric current intensity [I] = A (Amper)
R- electrical resistivity [R] = Ω (ohm)
t or Δt - time [t] = s (seconds)

Fill in the values for:
I - current intensity [I] = A
R- electrical resistivity [R] = Ω
t or Δt - time [t] = s
and then click the calculate button

The Joule effect, or the electrocaloric effect, shows that when heat passes through a conductor, heat is emitted in proportion to the resistance of the conductor.

How to convert

H HEAT OR ENERGY: H or E - the amount of heat or energy [H] = J (Joule)

I CURRENT INTENSITY: I - the intensity of the electric current [I] = A (Amper)

R ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY: R- electrical resistivity [R] = Ω (ohm)

ΔT TIME: t or Δt - time [t] = seconds

The Joule effect is manifested as long as the conductive environment has a certain electrical resistance, because, below a certain value of temperature, very low, the resistivity of the conductors decreases suddenly to low values, resulting in the phenomenon of superconductivity.

Mathematically, Joule's law is expressed as follows:

H = I ² ∙ R ∙ t
or you'll find Joule's law written like this:
E = I ² ∙ R ∙ Δt
