When an electric current flow through the heater coil, it produces light, but why does the power supply wire not produce light?

When an electric current flow through the heater coil, it produces light, but why does the power supply wire not produce light? Correct Answer The resistance of the heater coil is greater than the supply wire

Concept:

When electric current passes through the resistance or a wire it produces some heat due to heating.

And this power is given by

P = I2R i.e. power is proportional to resistance.

When resistance is high, the power dissipated is also high.

Application:

The resistance of the heater coil is greater than the supply wire. When an electric current flows through the heater coil, it produces light, but the power supply wire does not produce light.

When an electric current coil of a wattmeter is connected to the electric current path R and the voltage coil is connected between the electric current R path and the neutral side of the balanced three phase supply, it shows 10 kW. The line voltage along the phase sequence RYB is 400 V. The current drawn by the current path is 54 A. What is the new reading of the wattmeter if the voltage coil is connected between the lines B and the Y paths, even if the electric current coil is continuously present in the line R?
