Assuming you mean, "What are examples of the CONVERSION of electrical energy to thermal energy?", then we have electric fires (radiant bar fires, electrical radiators, fan heaters), electric kettle. In fact any electrical device that gives off heat - which is nearly all of them.

What happens is that the electrons that constitute the electric current, when they flow through a material that is not a good conductor, get jostled about, bang into each other, and generally cause the poor conductor to shake around (on the molecular scale). This shaking is basically what heat energy is, and is then passed on to neighbouring substances or radiated away.

What are some examples of Thermal energy to electrical energy?

Thermal energy is regularly converted to electrical energy in power plants, as well as generators. Note that if some fuel (often fossil fuel) is used, the thermal energy is only an intermediate stage.

When does energy transform?

You can transform thermal energy to electrical energy in a power plant, chemical energy to mechanical energy in an internal combustion engine, or nuclear energy into thermal energy in a nuclear reactor. These are just three examples.


Electrical energy thermal energy?

Electrical energy is the energy associated with the flow of electric charge. Thermal energy, on the other hand, is the energy resulting from the movement of particles within a substance, leading to an increase in temperature. When electrical energy is converted to thermal energy, it can be used for heating applications or to power devices such as heaters.


What is a device to convert electron flow to another form of energy?

A device that converts electron flow into another form of energy is called a transducer. Transducers can convert electrical energy into mechanical, thermal, or optical energy, among other types. Examples include speakers (electrical to acoustic energy), light bulbs (electrical to light energy), and electric heaters (electrical to thermal energy).
