Pretty much all electrical and electronic devices convert at least some electrical energy into heat energy.
* microprocessors (that's why some of them need big heat sinks)
* Transformers (that's why the big ones are mounted in a tank of cooling oil)
* rechargeable batteries
* flourescent light bulbs
* ... and practically every other electrical and electronic device.
A few devices convert all the input electrical energy into heat energy.
* resistors, including ballast resistors and shunt resistors and dummy loads
* resistive heating elements, such as the ones in toasters and some electric stoves
* the resistive tungsten filament in incandescent light bulbs

Is there any device which converts heat energy to electrical energy?
All Generators, you use in day today life, witch run on Petrol,Kerosene and LPG are the devises witch converts heat energy to electrical energy.
What device converts electrical energy into heat and light energy?
An incandescent light bulb would be a prime example.
What type of device is used to transform thermal energy into electrical energy?
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
What is an example of how electrical energy can be converted to another form of energy at home?
Think of any device that needs to be plugged in, or that is connected to the power network.Light-bulbs: convert electrical energy to light.Toaster: converts electrical energy to heat.Refrigerator: uses electrical energy as a heat pump (takes heat out of the inside, into the outside).Computer: uses the electrical energy in electronic circuits; eventually the energy gets converted to heat. (In other devices, the electrical energy also gets converted to heat, eventually.)Computer monitor: converts the electrical energy to light energy.Loudspeaker: converts the electrical energy to sound.Etc.
What are the conversions of electrical energy give 5 examples?
-- An LED converts electrical energy to light energy. -- A coffee percolator converts electrical energy to heat energy. -- An old-fashioned light bulb converts electrical energy to light energy and heat energy, both at the same time. -- A loudspeaker or ear-bud converts electrical energy to sound energy. -- An electric motor converts electrical energy to kinetic energy. -- A radio transmitter converts electrical energy to low-frequency electromagnetic energy. -- A battery sitting in its charger converts electrical energy to chemical energy.
What device convert heat energy into electrical energy?
It is a thermocouple that converts thermal energy into electrical energy through what is called the thermoelectric effect.

Speaker is electronic transducer?
Technically, a transducer is defined as a device, which converts other sources of energy such as heat, mechanical, pressure etc. into electrical energy, i.e., the output of a transducer is always electrical energy. Since, a speaker converts electrical energy into sound energy, it is not a transducer.
What do a resistor do in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.

What device converts heat energy to work?
A heat engine.
Is a heat engine a device that converts mechanical energy into heat energy?
true
What energy does a toaster use?
It converts electrical energy into heat energy.
