It is how the very great majority of electricity is generated - by using steam turbines. Water is boiled and turns to steam, the expanding steam turns a turbine, which drives a generator.
Gasoline powered generators use an internal combustion engine to turn the electric generator.
Another way is using a thermoelectric device, which employs the Seebeck effect.

When you turn on a toaster what happens to the electrical energy?
The electrical energy gets transformed into electromagnetic (light) energy and thermal (heat) energy.
Are various energy forms interconvertible?
Yes, various forms of energy are interconvertible. Look at the following examples. Sound energy is converted into electrical energy in a microphone. Electrical energy is converted into sound energy in a loud speaker. Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy in a motor. Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy in a generator. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when a stone is dropped. Electrical energy is converted into heat energy in a room heater. Chemical energy is converted into sound, light and heat energy while firing crackers
What is electrical energy converted to inside a toaster?
Inside a toaster, electrical energy is converted to heat (and a little bit of light) energy.
Is solar powered by heat or light?
The energy of the sun is converted in light, which is then converted in heat. After that, the heat converts into electrical.
What is an example of how electrical energy can be converted to another form of energy at home?
Think of any device that needs to be plugged in, or that is connected to the power network.Light-bulbs: convert electrical energy to light.Toaster: converts electrical energy to heat.Refrigerator: uses electrical energy as a heat pump (takes heat out of the inside, into the outside).Computer: uses the electrical energy in electronic circuits; eventually the energy gets converted to heat. (In other devices, the electrical energy also gets converted to heat, eventually.)Computer monitor: converts the electrical energy to light energy.Loudspeaker: converts the electrical energy to sound.Etc.
How is heat converted directly to electrical energy in nature?
In thunderstorms
What is electrical energy from a light bulb converted into?
heat enery
What forms of energy are in a microwave?
Electrical converted to electromagnetic waves.
What electric energy converts to heat and motion?
Electrical energy can by converted to Mechanical energy (motion) by electric motors, and also electrical heaters change electrical energy into heat.
