The fast movement of the charged particles. Heat in everything is the exciting of a substances particles. That is all Lightning really is. The movement of charged particles from a place of higher charge to a place of lower charge. This is the basis of Electricity.

∙ 16y agoBecause: as electricity moves through the element, the element acts as a resistor, and because it's resistance is so high, it heats up, the same applies to incandecent light globes

To made House use electric heater which element is better?
The best element to use is a 3 phase electric heater that has a guard over the element protecting you from brushing against the hot part and stopping the element from starting a fire if the heater is pushed element down onto the floor
When checking an electric heating element you read voltage but no amperage What can you determine about the heating element?
the element has a open in it !
How does an electric shower heat up so fast?
Electric showers only take water from the mains cold water supply. They heat the water when you turn the shower on, by passing it over a heating element inside the shower - in a similar way to how a kettle works. When you shower, you don't use up and stored hot water - so electric showers are ideal for families and households where there is a limited supply of hot water. Electric showers are always ready to use, any time of the day or night
Where can one buy an electric hot plate?
An electric hot plate can be purchased at a large number of stores. Hot plates for candles or hot plates for heating food can be purchased at stores such as Walmart, Target, Amazon or more.
Examples of electrical resistance?
Good examples of electrical resistance would be an electrical baseboard heater, electric hot water tank and an electrical kettle. All of these devices use a resistive element to create heat.
What is an electric element?
An electric element is a metal part inside a kettle that makes the wate get hot
What is an electric skillet?
It is a frying pan with a built-in electric heating element. You plug it in and the pan gets hot enough to cook with.
Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does?
The heating element of an electric heater is a "resistor", the cord which conducts the electricity is not. The resistance of the element of an electric heater is very high. As current flows through the heating element, it becomes red hot and glows. On the other hand, the resistance of the cord is low. It does not become red hot when current flows through it.
Testing the Electric Hot Water Heater Element?
If the water from the faucet is tepid or cold, it might be time to check the electric hot water heater element. Electric hot water heaters are equipped with two heater elements that heat water. They do so through an electrical current the goes through the element. The lower element does the hard work and is most likely to be the first that burns out. Turn off the electricity, and disconnect the wires at the heating element terminals. Set the multimeter to read resistance. Touch the clips on each terminal of the element. If the Ohmmeter doesn't budge, the element is shot.

Why is electric hot water tank not staying hot?
The thermostat is broken. If it's not heating at all the heater element and/or it's fuse is broken.
Why is your hot water all of a sudden very hot?
If water heater is electric, usually bottom element is going bad. Replace ASAP.
What happen to the heating element if lower power supplied to an electric kettle via transformer?
it won't get as hot
Hot water available if it sits for a couple of days after that no hot water Is the thermostat bad?
If it is an electric hot water tank, you more than likely have a burnt out element
How does an electric iron works?
as per to me the electric iron has got an elementthat becomes red hot when electricity passes through it. As we have seen in an toaster also the heating element becomes hot and the bread is also heated. Just as same iron has got an element which heats up....
Does a hot water heater element have a positive and negative?
For an electric water heater on alternating current, there is not 'positive' or 'negative'. There should be terminals labeled hot and neutral, though.
Why the wires leading to an electric iron remains cold while the element gets hot?
This happens because wire have less resistance.
