Of course. That's what an electric fire does, and a cigarette lighter, a toaster, a hair drier, an electric oven, a light bulb.
All involve passing an electric current through a wire to make it hot.

How can nuclear fission be use to create electricity?
Basically ... You fire electrons at a piece of uranium, which creates heat (or thermal energy). This heat is used to heat water up, which turns it to steam. This steam is then used to turn a turbine, which allows electricity to be created.
A heat pump has a cop rating of 2.5 to 1 if 200 watts of electricity are used to run the heat pump how many equivalent watts are produced?
19.a heat pump has a COP rating of 2.5 to 1. If 200 watts of electricity are used to run the heat pump, how many equivalent watts(heat) are produced?
What is frequently used in jewelry this metal is the best conducted of heat and electricity?
silver
What is the cunductor of heat and electricity of iron?
what is the conductor of heat and electricity of iron
Is conductors of heat and conductors of electricity the same thing?
Sometimes. Metals will conduct both heat and electricity. Glass will conduct heat but not electricity.
What has to happen to nuclear before it cam be used to generate electricity?
The nuclear reaction produces heat The heat is used to make steam The steam makes the turbines spin The turbines make electricity
What was used for heating when there was no electricity?
Wood or coal was burned to make heat
What purposes is coal often used?
heat homes all of these make electricity make steel
What is the definition for geothermal?
heat under the ground used to heat water and make steam to turn generator turbines and make electricity.
How are soures of radiation energy used to make electricity?
the radioactive material is used to create a sustained reaction which creates heat. The heat is used to turn water into steam which turns a turbine to generate electricity.
What is the geothermal energy definition?
heat under the ground used to heat water and make steam to turn generator turbines and make electricity.
Can you make electricity from the heat of the sun?
YES! Did you know that the heat of the sun is called solar energy. It's used to produce steam, which can then be turned into electricity. That's real cool!
Is it possible to charge mobile phones from heat source?
Not by heating up the battery directly. In theory, the heat source could be used to make electricity and then use the electricity to charge the battery
How is biofuel used to make electricity?
Biofuel can be used in an oil-fired power plant to heat water to steam. The steam drives electrical turbines that produce electricity.
How are fossil fuels used to produce electricity?
Coal, oil, or natural gas is used to make electricity by burning it. The heat is used to drive a steam turbine that is hooked up to a generator.
How does geothermal energy is used to generate electricity from steam?
The heat from the earth is used to heat water. The water is used to turn a turbine - which generates electricity.
Can solar panels make electricity and heat?
Yes they can. Solar panels convert radiation from the sun into usable electricity. They electricity can then be converted into heat
