Light energy is used in photosynthesis, and it is converted into chemical energy of the glucose molecule. Obscure example, but imagine heat being applied to a tea kettle. When the water boils, steam escaping produces a sound. The heat is converted to sonar (sound) energy.
The more water in the kettle, the longer it will take to reach boiling point. This is why it is wasteful in energy to boil a full kettle if you only want to brew a small cup of tea.
Once the heat has been turned off the kettle, it will begin to lose heat. The rate of heat loss depends on the thickness of the kettle's walls, the amount of boiling water that was in the kettle before the heat was turned off, and the temperature of the room the kettle is stood in. When tea is traditionally brewed in teapots, a woolly knitted cover (known as a cosy - in the UK) was placed over the teapot to slow down the rate of heat loss.

Kettles have an element at the bottom, which is heated up by the electric current connnected to it. As the current flows through the plug and the connection, the element becomes extremely hot and disperses the heat throughout the water, at this stage you see tiny bubbles rising from the element. After a minute or so, the water reaches boiling point, starts to agitate, and the steam comes out of the spout of the kettle. If you have a whistling kettle, this is when the steam is forced through a small hole, causing the whistling sound the kettle makes when the steam goes through it. Now you are ready to make that cup of tea.
