This question can be answered by Ohm's law. According to Ohm's law, V = IR where, V = voltage, I = current and R = resistance. Rearranging the equation we get R = V/I.
Heating appliances have high resistance coil which dissipates supplied electrical energy into heat energy.

WHat energy efficients appliances should I get?
A lot of Kenmore appliances are energy efficient. Anything with the Energy Star on it is a good idea. They take up less energy, and save you money. Sears carries almost every Energy Star model.
Why do drafts in a home or building waste energy in the winter In the summer?
That is related to energy required for heating. If you require energy to keep your house warm, a draft can take energy out - replacing hot air with cold air. This will require more heating. In summer, the situation is similar - except that the wasted energy is related to air-conditioning, and that cool air will be replaced with warm air.
Why some appliances producemoreheatthan others?
This depends specifically on the appliance and the way it is designed. For instance dryers, dishwashers, etc. are designed to produce heat and the heat given off is not necessarily a sign of energy loss or inefficiency. Also, appliances like refrigerators are not only designed to cool the inside, but also to take the warm air out of the food compartment, this is why you bottom vent on a fridge will often produce a warm breeze. The heat produced by appliances differed on design and efficiently its built. Remember! heat is only another form of energy and electrical energy turns into heat in objects like transformers, which are in appliances, and when this happens its energy loss. Appliances labeled as Energy Star are designed to eliminate energy loss and maximize efficiency which is also why Energy Star appliances may run cooler then typical appliances.
What steps will you take to conserve energy?
There are few things that you can do in your daily routine to conserve energy. Unplug the appliances that are unnecessary e.g. chargers when not charging. Turn off lights when not using. Make efficient use of appliances. Adjust your computers hibernate and sleep.
Where can one find gas heating systems?
Gas heating systems can be found at any local home renovation store. Home Depot and Lowe's are your best choices. They take the throne when it comes to home appliances. You can also check out Sears.
How long does it take to break even with new appliances?
The energy savings on your bills would be immediate since the new appliances would use less energy once they are installed and the old units removed. Break-even costs will depend on how inefficient your older appliances were compared to the new stuff, but generally it would be years before you truly break-even on energy savings.
What safety precautions can a homeowner take to prevent CO poisoning?
Having heating systems and appliances installed by a qualified contractor to assure that they are properly vented and meet local building codes.
Some ways to conserve energy?
Take public transport instead of energy consuming vehicles. Turn appliances off at the wall socket (e.g. TV's). (When on standby they still draw some current, and this mounts up.) Choose not to use plastics, as these are oil based and use a lot of energy to manufacture. If technically feasible, install alternative energy sources. Solar heating for water, solar power panels or home-sized wind generator to supplement power, etc.
What are some tips on conserving energy?
To conserve energy, you can turn off lights, televisions and other appliances when you do not need them, take short showers instead of baths, wash laundry in cold water, use energy-efficient compact fluorescents.
How do you get more energy without drinking coffee or energy drinks?
Get more sleep or take vitamins
How much energy does it take to heat 1cubic centimetere of water?
It depends on which temperature you want to reach and at which temperature is the water before you start heating it!
Does it take more energy to keep?
To keep what?
