Yes, so electricity simply flow through them.
Most Wires and Coils have resistance. This resistance opposes the flow of Current. This opposition creates Heat.

How does turbine generate electricity?
it causes a magnet to spin and generate electricity through the aligning of the electrons in surrounding atoms
The rubbing of the carpet by your shoes causes your body to become electrified this is an exampe of static electricity?
yes it is.
What happens to the energy when you turn on an electric lamp?
Electricity flows through the filament, resistance in the filament causes heat and light energy to be created.
What does electrocution mean?
Electrocution is death by means of an electric current passing through the body. The current usually causes the heart to stop, but can also cause death through heating and destruction of tissue.
What flows through a circuit and causes a magnetic field?
An electric current flowing through a circuit causes a magnetic field. This is due to the movement of electric charges, usually electrons, in the circuit. The magnetic field produced is perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.
Property of the filament that makes it light up when electricity flows through it?
Incandescence. The filament is heated by the electricity moving through it, this causes the filament to heat up, and the heat causes the familiar glow.
Do electrical charges cause electricity?
YES, electricity is caused by the separation of electrical charge which, through means of trying to stabilize itself (in other words become neutral) causes the flux (or motion) of electrons. The flow of electrons is what electricity really is.

yes it is.
How does a generators produce electricity?
. This causes electrons to move through the conductor, which is creates a flow of electricity that we can use for lighting or running our computers.
When you jump your car it want start cable get hot?
Electricity passes through the cable. As it passes through the cable, the electricity will encounter resistance. This is what causes an electrical cable to heat up.
How does heat from toasters heat up your toast?
By sending electricity through a type of wire that electricity can't get through easily which causes alot of heat to emerge thus toasting the bread.
What causes electricity storms?
Electricity.
What causes electricity to flow through the wire?
electro-motive force (emf), often measured in volts of "potential"
What causes electrical explosions?
The causes of the electrical explosions is if the voltage of the electricity come down below 110 volts or become higher than 120 volts, it will explodes so you have to use an transformer into it.
How is electricity produced from wind cycles?
Well when it goes through the wind turbines it causes energy to generate. And that's how energy is produced!
What does electricity cause?
electricity causes an electromagnetic field, also radiation.
