What converts electrical energy into heat energy?

Question

i dont know how exactly to explain this,

but we are doing electrical circuits convert electrical energy into heat energy ?

Answer 1

If you pass "High current" into a "high resistance" wire, more energy will dissepate and release from the wire in the form of :" Heat Energy"..

V = R * I

The higher the current and the resistance you use, the more heat energy you will gain from the wire . By that you have got a ready for use " electric heater"

This is the idea used in the electric heater, ovens ,etc.

Answer 2

Resistance. Look up Ohm's law.

Answer 3

Electricity is the flow of electrons around a circuit. A simple circuit consists of a supply (battery/mains socket outlet), (cables/conductors) a switch and a load (the heater). The basic principle is that the supply pushes electrons through the cables and switch and through the load, (in the same way a central heating system pushes water through a radiator).  As the electrons move through the various materials they create what can be simply described as atomic friction. The electrons pass energy to the atoms as they move along causing the atoms of the element to heat up. The amount of energy used depends on the circuit conditions but simple ohms law calculations can be used

Power = Watts = Volts x Amps and  Energy = Watts x Time  

Answer 4

Electrical heater lol. Tungsten, Nichrome wires  

Answer 5

Resistance

(as opposed to capacitance or inductance)
