Thank you Buzz. That absolutely makes sense and is a great explanation
I guess I was just confused by the fact that in this conversation I was having I was being told (very confidently) that current is creating the heat. It sounds like I should have just put my ear plugs in...
They are also...
This seems like such a simple thing so maybe everyone can help me talk this through...
So in a simple circuit with two conductors mated by physical means (think a plug into a socket) there will be heat because there is effectively arcing between the two conductors. So everyone keeps saying it...
