The scientific study or technology of heat generation and transmission using electrical current.
From electrothermic + -s (noun formation). Follows the pattern of physics, thermodynamics, and other -ics scientific disciplines.
Like 'thermodynamics' or 'electromagnetics,' the -ics ending signals an entire field of study—electrothermics encompasses everything from induction heating in factories to the science behind induction cooktops.
