Devices called thermocouples do this directly.
Boiling water and using the steam to turn turbines which turn generators do this indirectly.

What do electricity and heat have in common?
Yes. These both are the different forms of energy (heat energy , electrical energy).These can be converted one to another as per the conservation of energy- " Energy canneither be created nor be destroyed but we can convert one form to another. "Example:1.In thermal power plants, the heat energy is converted into electrical energy.2.In Electric heater, the electrical energy is converted into the heat energy. They can both be used to transfer energy, electricity through a wire or similar conductive material, and heat by conducting through a metal or grill. They can be changed one into the other. For instance, electricity passed through something with high resistance creates heat, whilst heat can be used to make steam and power turbines which make electricity.
What is the most common type energy loss in a electrical device?
thermal/heat energy
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.
Example of electrical energy to electromagnetic?
a microwave or a x-ray. Because when the microwave for example is plugged in or turned on is electrical energy and when the food is being cooked is when electromagnetic energy is used. Hope I Could Help :]
Resistors allow electrical energy to be changed to other forms of?
All a resistor does is use electrical energy, converting it to heat. so a 10 ohm resistor with 5 volts across it will dissipate 2.5 watts. this will come out as heat, ie, the resistor will get hot.
What is an example of electrical energy changing into heat energy?
Turning on a lamp
Give 5 example of energy transformation?
refrigarator-electrical energy-light energy-heat energy
What will happen if there is no heat in energy transformation?
That is normal for example when energy is transformed from mechanical directly into electrical i a generator, or electrical to mechanical in a motor.
What activity is an example of electrical energy that changed to heat energy?
Iron, microwave, stove, and a heater, are all examples of electrical energy to heat.
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 5 example of transformation?
Five examples of energy transformation:television-electrical energy->light energy->sound energy->heat energycar-chemical energy->mechanical energy->sound energy->heat energylight bulb-electrical energy->light energy->heat energyrubber duck-kinetic energy->elastic energy->sound energymatch-chemical energy->light energy->heat energy
What device converts electrical energy into heat and light energy?
An incandescent light bulb would be a prime example.
Electrical energy to heat energy what machine use this?
an elecric heater uses the conversion of electrical energy into heat energy.
Which is not an example of electrical energy?
There are lots of other types of energy, e.g. sound energy, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, heat energy, etc.
How can electric energy can be converted to another form of energy in your home?
yes... for example electrical energy is converted to heat and light energy in a light bulb
What type of energy transformation occurs when a light bulb is turned on?
Electrical energy is transformed into heat and light. More specifically, electrical energy from the household wiring is turned into thermal energy (heat) by the filament which in turn becomes luminous energy (light). Some energy is lost due to resistance in the conductors.
In a toaster what kind of energy is used?
The inside of a toaster includes electrical energy (what runs the toaster), radiant/light energy (the light coming off of the coils), and thermal/heat energy (what cooks the food in the toaster).
