The heat generated by an electric current is in watts, Current x volts. So current alone is not enough to define it. By Ohms Law, Volts = Current x Resistance, so another way of expressing watts is (Current squared) x Resistance. If you know the current andthe resistance you can get the wattage, which will give you the heat generated.
