Heat is technically defined as the energy transferred from one object to another because of temperature differences.
If you're talking about electrical circuitry, there are no types of electrical energy. Electrical energy is the energy associated with the redistribution of electrical charge.
Physicists usually talk about the electromagnetic field and one could distringuish between the electromagnetic energy transmitted by light/photons and the electrical energy transmitted by charged particles.
Electrical energy of charges can be transferred from the field into the internal energy of a resistor ( a wire, a stack of carbon) and make it get warmer. This is called "joule heating." This warm resistor then loses heat to its cooler surroundings. This is how coffee warmers, hot water heaters, hair dryers, electric ovens and stoves work.
Electromagnetic energy of photons can increase the temperature of an object simply by absorbing the photon.

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.
When you turn on a toaster you convert electrical energy into what type of energy?
heat
A burning fire produces what type of energy?
The chemical energy of the fuel is converted into light and heat energy.
What type of energy is a laser?
i think it is.......... heat energy or either electrical it depends i guess.................
What type of energy is used to run most refrigerators?
Electrical- there are a few that run on heat energy from gas or kerosene.

What type of energy is produced with a battery wires and a bulb?
The battery produces electrical energy. If the light bulb is connected between the terminals of the battery, then the bulb will change the electrical energy into heat, and if you're lucky and you have the correct voltage, also maybe some light.
When you turn on a toaster you convert electrical energy into what type of energy?
heat
What type of energy is turning on a light?
The light bulb uses electrical energy, and produces light, as well as waste heat. The act of turning it on in itself uses a small amount of energy stored in your muscles.
Does the kettle use electrical energy or mehcaniclenergy?
The kettle uses heat energy. Depending on your type of stove, that heat will usually come from chemical energy (in a gas stove), or electrical energy (in an electrical stove).
What type of energy other than light energy is produces by incandescent light?
heat energyheat energy
A burning fire produces what type of energy?
The chemical energy of the fuel is converted into light and heat energy.
What type of energy does a tv have?
It has electrical energy going in, and it has light, sound and heat coming out.
What is the most common type energy loss in a electrical device?
thermal/heat energy
What type of energy is a laser?
i think it is.......... heat energy or either electrical it depends i guess.................
What type of energy is used to run most refrigerators?
Electrical- there are a few that run on heat energy from gas or kerosene.
When the flashlight is turned on electrical energy is is changed to which type of energy?
light and heat bitter one
