What are the main home uses for an electric hot water heater?
Electric hot water heater is used to heat cold water for use in winters. Electric hot water heaters heat water faster than the ones which consume fire in order to heat water.
Can a power change electric energy into heat energy?
Electrical energy is changed into heat energy ... intentionally ... every time you use a blow drier, toaster, electric oven, baseboard heater, electric clothes iron, curling iron, electric hot water heater, soldering iron, or coffee machine. Electrical energy is changed into some amount of heat energy ... unintentionally ... and is lost, whenever you use anything else electric.
What is the use of putting a cup full of water in front of an electric heater?
To add humidity to the air as well as heat it.
If I use a three phase electric ac and heater is it more economical that using a 3 phase gas ac and heater?
Well, as far as I know, there is no 'gas' A/C. The A/C will be electric, regardless of the type of heat used. Whether electric heat or gas heat would be more economical is really dependent on your electric and gas utility rates and the efficiency of the appliances involved.

How many watts does an electric heater use?
An electric heater is an electric appliance that convert electrical energy in to heat. Working principle of an electric heater as per "Joule heating theory" When electric current passes through a resistor that electric energy convert to heat (best and simple example is a spring type heating element). When Voltage applied both end of a wire/spring type Resistance wire, voltage flow and this voltage help that wire to heat up and convert in to heat. A Resistance wire quality, length & thickness depend how many time heat spread and resist with that heat. K.watt/ Watt = Applied voltage x Ampere. Many quality and types of electric heating elements are there depend upon purpose of use. Few best heating elements known as Kanthal wire, Nicrome wire, Ureka wire, Super Kanthal, Silicon Carbide heating elements etc.
The Ups and Downs of an Electric Wall Heater?
An electric wall heater is the perfect solution for houses in areas that have mild winters. The heater will provide heat for the rooms around it, and it should be installed on a wall that is central to the whole house. Electric wall heaters have some good features and some bad features. Targeted Heat Usually an electric wall heater is a panel that runs from just below the ceiling to just above the floor. It radiates heat to all of the air that directly surrounds it. If you need to heat a three bedroom house, an electric wall heater may not have the strength to reach every room. If your house or apartment is smaller, however, an electric wall heater may be just what you need to keep a couple of the bedrooms and the bathroom warm. Where you place the heater will have a definite impact on how well it heats your rooms. Uses Less Electricity than Central Heating Central heating is designed to heat your entire house. It uses the thermostat to determine when to turn off and on, and it pushes warm air into every room through a ducting system. An electric wall heater doesn’t attempt to warm the entire house. It only warms the air in a radius around the heater. Heating is more immediate with an electric wall heater, so you don’t have to wait hours for it to heat the room. Since you have tighter control over when an electric wall heater is off or on, the heater consumes less electricity and delivers targeted heat when you need it. Easy to Control An electric wall heater is a very straightforward device. When the house is cold, all you have to do is turn it on. The room will start to get warmer immediately. When a room is too warm, all you have to do is turn off the wall heater and the room will begin to cool immediately. The air around an electric wall heater is not pushed around the room, so it remains warmer than if it were blowing through a vent. Electric wall heaters become very hot when they are in use, so keep children a safe distance away from the heater.
