Why do electronics generate heat?

[Djole123]

Title says it all.

Electrons movin' around creates resistance which creates friction and friction creates heat.

[Centurius]

At its most simple, wasted electricity.

[Aytex]

little electrons moving around hell idk

 

 

[Enderman]

Because they dont use supersonductiors, so pretty much 99% of energy is lost as heat

[Starelementpoke]

 

Because the Laws of Thermodynamics and physics.

[mikat]

because resistance

[Djole123]

Thanks for all the answers!

 

[Moonzy]

because there are resistance in conductors
P(power loss, or heat) = I^2(current squared) R(resistance)

Because no conversion of energy from one form to another is 100% efficient.  This is why everything makes heat or vibration no matter what it is.  This is like, 10th grade science class material.

im gonna buy a second hand i7-960 and do that

You're making pasta.... on a cpu.....

[Nineshadow]

Joule's first law :

Q = I²*R*t

Where Q is the amount of heat , I is the intensity of the electrical current flowing through a conductor with resistance R , and t is the unit of time.

Didn't expect this many replies... Like my notif bar has gone crazy.

Don't kill an i7! Kill an FX instead!

[Clyne]

Yeah umm you learn this in Physics....

Electronic uses energy, the energy won't be loss, it's just converted from one form to another form. 

So energy to heat.

Law of conversation of energy...

Is it possible to get 0 resistance?

No, but you can get pretty close using superconductors, but that's very expensive and a new technology.

As much as I understood, if it draws no power, it won't generate any heat.
