That will convert the electrical energy into heat energy. Charge is not converted to anything; charge is maintained. What you are describing is called "resistance".

What is a electrical circuit?
An electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load". ---Nerd
What are the negatively charged particles that move in an electric circuit?
electrons
The constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit?
That is called electrical current.
What is an electron's role in a circuit?
Everything that goes on in an electrical circuit happens in response to a flow of electrical current. Electrons are the carriers of electrical charge whose motion constitutes the electrical current in the circuit.
Describe the relationship of the parts of an electrical current?
I assume you mean Voltage, Current and Resistance. Voltage (E)or electromagnetic force is the electrical pressure or force that forces the electrons through any given circuit Current (I)is the flow of those electrons through any given circuit Resistance (R) is anything within the circuit that would restrict the flow of electrons
Collisions of electrons with other particles in a circuit convert electrical what into heat or light?
energy

What is energy changes from electrical energy to thermal energy?
For example, in a circuit, the conducting wire will have a resistance to the flow of electrons. As a result, the movement of electrons through the circuit is impeded, dissipating energy, which is given off as heat. Basically, because electrical energy has to do with moving charges, energy is converted to heat when inelastic collisions occur at the atomic level.
A closed path through which electrons can flow is?
A closed path through which electrons flow is known as a circuit.
How do circuit breakers keep the wire in an electrical circuit from overheating?
They reduce the flow of electrons.

electrons

What measure of electrical energy transfers by electrons in a circuit?
Voltage
What are the parts of a simple electrical circuit?
An electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return" or "earth ground". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load".Contents[hide] 1 Electrical-circuits2 Electronic circuits3 Circuit-and-wiring-diagrams4 Circuit-breakers5 Ground-fault-interrupt-(GFI)-devices6 Other websites
Conducor in a battery that collects or emits electrons?
In a battery, or voltaic pile, the negative terminal or wire, called the anode, emits electrons in an electrical circuit. The other terminal, called the cathode, collects electrons in an electrical circuit.
