Thermocouples or Seeback generators do this directly. More practically, any heat source can boil water to make steam, which can turn a generator to produce electricity.

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.
How can you convert electrical energy to mechanical sound and heat energy?
We can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy in mixer and grinder. We can convert electrical energy into sound energy in various sound systems. We can convert electrical energy into heat energy in electric water or room heater.
Does an iron wire convert heat to electrical energy?
Iron wire is a conductor of heat/electricity only and it is impossible to convert heat to electrical energy by using it.
What is a substance that builds up energy from electricity causing heat?
Any substance that has an electrical resistance will convert electrical energy to heat - in other words, most substances. The exception are superconductors. A device specifically designed to dissipate electrical energy is called a resistor or resistance.
When you turn on a toaster you convert electrical energy into what type of energy?
heat

What does an electric blanket covert electrical energy to?
Heat. Electric blankets are simply a resistance coil, which convert electrical energy to heat.
How can you construct a device that can convert electrical energy to heat energy?
This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma. However, a simple resistive load will dissipate heat, thus changing electrical energy to heat energy.
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.
Resistance in wires causes electrical energy to be converted to what energy form?
Most resistors convert electrical energy into thermal energy, which is often called heat.
How can electrical energy turn into heat energy?
This is quite simple with a resistor. That device will turn electricity to heat.
