It can be run through a resistor to produce heat, as in a convector heater, tumble dryer, toaster. It can be used to run electric lights, and it can be used to drive electric motors that produce mechanical energy.
An electric motor turns electrical energy into mechanical energy, which is used to produce motion or perform work.
Appliances do not produce electric energy. Electric generators, such as power plants or solar panels, are examples of devices that produce electric energy. Appliances consume electric energy to perform their functions.

It is converted to heat first; this heat is then used to produce superheated steam. The pressure of the steam is what drives the electric generators.
Electric energy can be converted to kinetic energy through the use of electric motors, which transform electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion. Another way is through electric trains, where electric energy is used to power the motors that move the train along the tracks.
No, an electromagnet generates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it but it does not produce electric energy on its own. Electric energy is typically produced by generators that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.
Heat energy could be used to produce steam. The steam could be used to spin turbines and thus producing mechanical energy (to be used to move e.g submarines and/or ice breakers). The mechanical energy could move electric generators to produce electric energy. Another option is to use heat energy to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen could be used to produce electric energy (through fuel cells) or to produce mechanical energy (in cars and buses and other vehicles)
An electric fan converts electrical energy into kinetic energy to produce air movement.
An electric motor is an apparatus that converts electric energy into kinetic energy by using electromagnetic forces to produce mechanical motion.
In nuclear power plants, nuclear fission reactions are used to generate electric energy. This process involves splitting the nucleus of uranium or other radioactive elements, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat which is then used to produce steam and drive a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity.
In most cases, chemical energy stored in the battery produces the electric current. Rechargeable batteries are capable of taking electric currents and using them to reverse the chemical reactions, thus gaining more chemical energy that can be used readily.
