How does electric fire heat up a room?

An electric fire heats up a room by converting the electric energy into heat energy. The electric current flows through a heating element, usually made of metal coils, which then radiate heat into the room. Some electric fires also use a fan to distribute the heat more effectively.


What are some common challenges students face when solving electric flux problems?
