you will see a large brass nut with a plastic cover and electrical wire coming from it, normally at the top and to one side of the hot water cylinder, this is the immersion heater,
there are two common lengths, 27 inch and 11 inch.
Also, there are side entry immersion heaters.
Some cylinders have both top and side, the lower, side mounted being the main one and the top acting as a booster for the hot water . The old term of these mountings were, Sussex entry=top mounted, Essex entry= side mounted.

This type heats the water as you use it and for as long as you want. An indirectly heated tank has a heat exchange coiled tube (calorifier) mounted inside the skin of the tank. Hot water or steam travels through the tube and radiates heat into the tank water.
