What happens when u put a paper clip onto the ends of a battery and it gets hot?

It gets hot. Hate to be so simplistic, but that's what will happen. A wire has almost no resistance and virtually all of the energy in the battery flows from one terminal to the other. The flow heats up the wire and, well, it gets hot. The larger the battery, the faster this will happen.

The paper clip is a good conductor of electricity. What happens is the Electron flow through the Conductor generates heat due to it Impedance (Ability to handle the Current). Electric Heaters work on this principle. IF, the Battery has Sufficient Voltage/Amperage it can actually melt the paper clip (try a car battery and you will see. A Flashlight Battery may just keep the Paper clip hot, as, it does not have the Voltage/Amperage to melt the wire. Also, try coiling the Paper clip into a spiral like an Ink Pen Spring, you will get a totally different result. AND, a larger Diameter wire will have different results, as, it's Impedence is not as great.
