Granites can be predominantly white, pink, or gray in color, depending on their mineralogy. The word granite comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a holocrystalline rock.By definition, granite is an igneous rock with at least 20% quartz and up to 65% alkali feldspar by volume.ranites can be predominantly white, pink, or gray in color, depending on their mineralogy.

How does electricity produce heat, and where do the electrons go? When electrons flow through a conductor it is subject to resistive loss, which has the unfortunate capability of producing heat from this current, leaving us with less current in the other end of the conductor opposite to the power source.
The key here is that resistive heating depends on the square of the current, meaning that the power is more sensitive to changes in current than resistance. Therefore, at constant voltage, the effect of a change in current outweighs the effect of the corresponding change in resistance.
