Electricity is converted to heat through the resitive coils or burners. As electricity flows through the resistance in the coils it increases the current of the electicity being used to force the electrons harder through the coil and this is what actually creates the heat, as the current increases it causes the electrons to vibrate faster creating heat through friction. Heat is another term for current/amps and wattage.
The formula for this is I=E/R or I(current in amps)=E(elctricity in voltage)divided by R(resistance in ohms) So the more resistance you put into any circuit you will get proportionally more current(in order to push the electrons through the resistance).
Hope i didnt get to technical and this answers your question )
The formula for this is V = I * R or (Voltage Drop Across Resistance) = Current (Amps) * Resistance (Ohms).
When you increase the resistance in the circuit, if you keep the voltage constant, you DECREASE the current.

Which form of energy produces more heat energy gas stove or electricity?
gas
Is a heating coil on an electric stove a conductor of electricity?
Yes a heating coil is a conductor of electricity, other wise it would not heat up.
What kind of device could be used to convert the detected heat to electrical signal?
Shower, Iron (for ironing), an electrical stove, an incandescent light bulb (most of the electricity gets converted to heat), a cigarette lighter in a car, ...Shower, Iron (for ironing), an electrical stove, an incandescent light bulb (most of the electricity gets converted to heat), a cigarette lighter in a car, ...Shower, Iron (for ironing), an electrical stove, an incandescent light bulb (most of the electricity gets converted to heat), a cigarette lighter in a car, ...Shower, Iron (for ironing), an electrical stove, an incandescent light bulb (most of the electricity gets converted to heat), a cigarette lighter in a car, ...
What energy transformations occur if final form of the energy is Heat from an electric stove?
So is the "heat" radiant heat, an electromagnetic wave? (Heat is used to mean many things.) Electricity gets turned into the electromagnetic infrared (heat).
Describe one example of heat technology from the past and one example from the present day?
The frankin stove (can be a stove and a fireplace) is one example of heat technology from the past. Today we use electrical stove and fire place. Back then we use matches to light a fire place up, today we use electricity and buttons.
What is a canned heat stove?
sterno stove.
Does gas stove use electricity?
no
How many amps for gas stove?
A gas stove does not use any electricity.
How much electricity is needed to reach 220 degrees Celsius?
That all depends. Are you trying to heat a cup of tea, an auditorium, or a swimming pool ? It is for a stove.
When you are cooking on a stove you are converting what?
Potential, or stored energy (gas, electricity, wood) into kinetic energy, energy of movement (heat, light, increased temperature).
What kind of energy does a stove use?
If it is a gas stove it will use kinetic energy from a chemical reaction, adding it as potential energy (molecular motion) to the molecules of whatever is heated. In an electric stove, electrical energy becomes radiant thermal energy, some of which becomes potential energy in whatever is heated.
Does an electrical stove convert electrical energy into motion?
Strictly speaking, an electric stove converts electricity into heat. That heat can be used to create motion, like water circulating in a pot of boiling water, but the direct conversion is to thermal energy.
