Heat generation

Heat generation refers to the process where energy is converted into heat, typically through movement or friction of particles or objects. In electronic devices, it occurs when electrical energy passes through components with resistance, causing some energy to transform into heat. Similarly, mechanical processes, like rubbing two surfaces together, generate heat due to friction. This heat is a sign of energy transformation and can affect the performance and safety of equipment, which is why proper cooling and heat management are essential in many systems.
