no, because they think it's better to use a gas stove, when it obviously takes longer to heat. American intelligence eh?
Electric kettles are available in America, but most Americans don't own one and aren't familiar with them. This is a shame, because they're very handy when you need to boil water quickly!
cause they are
Death, injury, and electricutionIf we ignore the above, humourous(!), attempt at an answer, then the three effects of an electric current are (1) heating effect, (2) chemical effect, and (3) magnetic effect.Examples of the heating effect include electric heaters, kettles, stoves, etc. An examples of the chemical effect is electroplating. Examples of the magnetic effect includes relays, motors, etc.The SI unit of current, the ampere, is defined in terms of the force between two parallel conductors due to their magnetic fields (i.e. the magnetic effect).
Probably so science teachers can ask the question - the answer to which is that shiny surfaces are poor emitters of infra red radiation, thus minimising heat loss from the kettle and improving the rate of heat at which it heats the water for your cup of tea ( in the UK) or coffee (U.S)

Filter ones and steams one and electric ones and eco ones and tea ones
800 wattsAnswerIt depends where you live. In North America the size of a kettle is limited by the supply at the receptacle (120 V/15 A) which means it cannot exceed 1800 W. In the UK, the supply is 230 v/13 A, so a kettle cannot exceed 2990 W.
Start with a kitchen appliance store and look in their Kettles and Hot Pots section. Electric kettles are available and they can be used to boil water.
Purely aesthetics these days, to match other kitchenware. Increasingly kettles are made of plastic.
A kettle does not have a magnetic force on its own. However, since it is metal, it can attract a magnet.
