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.

How does a heat lamp provide an example of energy transformation?

A heat lamp transforms electrical energy into heat and light energy. The electrical energy powers the lamp, which then converts it into heat and light, providing warmth and illumination in the surrounding area.


Give you an example of heat transformation?

An example of heat transformation is when a stove burner converts electrical energy into heat energy through resistance heating in the heating coil. This process transforms the electrical energy supplied to the stove into thermal energy, which is then used for cooking food.


What is an example of electrical energy changing into heat energy?

An example of electrical energy changing into heat energy is when an electric stove is turned on. The electric current passes through the stove's coils, creating resistance that generates heat. This heat is then used for cooking or baking food.


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.


Can an example of electrical energy changing to thermal energy Lights the energy?

When electrical energy flows through a light bulb, the resistance in the filament causes the electrons to collide with atoms, generating heat energy. This heat energy raises the temperature of the filament, causing it to emit light in addition to heat. So, the conversion of electrical energy to thermal energy primarily happens in the form of heat, with light being a byproduct of this process.


What are example of appliances that transforms electrical energy to heat energy.?

Examples include: electric stoves, toasters, and kettles. These appliances use electrical energy to generate heat for cooking or heating purposes.
