Heat produced in a wire is directly proportional to the square of current. A wire can withstand only some specific amount of heat. When current increases above the capacity of wire/appliance,it catches fire

Insulators are things that are poor conductors of heat and electricity. In electrical terms, an insulator is what keeps wires from shorting out, prevents electric fires, and prevents electric shock. That way, the electricity stays in the wiring and doesn't go elsewhere.
Electricity in electric circuits produce heat and when a circuit goes wrong the heat can escalate to the point where it causes combustion in the materials adjacent to it. This causes fires.
it is thermal
It is the domestic electric power supply, also known as 'the mains'.
Electric Fires UK supplies fine and modern electric fireplaces. They have three showrooms and a wide selection of electric fireplaces for sale. Electric Fires UK is family-run and has been in business since 1985.
Electric power for any of the electric cars out there comes from normal household power sources. This is stored in a battery until the toy is ready to be played with.
Electricity can harm people through electric shock. When an individual comes into contact with an electrical current, it can disrupt the normal functioning of the heartbeat, muscles, and nerves, potentially leading to injuries or even death. Additionally, electrical fires can also pose a danger to people by causing burns or creating a hazardous environment.
Gas boilers are more efficient than electric fires because gas is a more energy-dense fuel than electricity, meaning it generates more heat for the same amount of fuel. Gas boilers also have a higher energy conversion efficiency compared to electric fires, as they can harness more of the energy produced during combustion. Additionally, gas boilers typically have lower operating costs than electric fires in regions where natural gas is readily available.

An electric current HAS energy. The energy comes from whatever caused the electric current to flow in the first place - for example, a generator, or a battery.
Depends on where you get the electricity to recharge the batteries. If the electricity is produced in a hydro-electric plant then there is almost no pollution. If the electricity comes from a nuclear power plant then you have nuclear waste. If the electricity comes from a coal-fired plant that you do have pollution from the burning of coal.
