Solution

Hi Ratish!

The main disadvantage of heating effect of electric current is the wastage of energy. When current passes through long conductors, a portion of energy is wasted as the form of heat. Also, in case of incandescent lamps, only a part of electricity is converted into light, another part is wasted as heat, which is unwanted.

Cheers!!
