No, electric heaters work by running electric current through resistors which produces heat. same as an element on an oven range top.

True or false fire will not burn without oxygen?
True, fire must have oxygen to burn.
How many Kilowatts does it take to run a heater at 74 for 1 day?
This depends on a number of factors. Are you talking about a central furnace for the entire household or a space heater? How long is the heater being run each time it is turned on? How often does the heater need to turn on to maintain the temperature at 74 degrees? If it is a central furnace, is it fully electric or does it burn natural gas to heat the air that the electric blower cycles throughout the home? How big is the home (this helps in giving an idea of the size of central furnace and therefore the power requirements for the burner and the blower)? If the heater in question is a space heater, what wattage does it require at its chosen operating capacity? (For example, my space heater for my bedroom can use 1500 watts of power but if I set it to low heat, it burns only 600 watts instead.)Without much more information, there is no way to give an appropriate answer to your question, unfortunately. What I can tell you is that in my home, since the weather has gotten cooler, I have seen my electric bill increase because of running the space heaters periodically. They seem to consume anywhere from 10 to 20 kilowatt-hours per day, depending on whether I am using one or two and how much they are used. Around this area, that equates to between $1.30 and $2.60 per day since power is about 13 cents per kilowatt-hour after all taxes and various fees are added into the bill.
What makes a peanut burn?
Peanuts are combustible because they are composed of oils and carbohydrates. What makes them burn is sufficient oxygen and a temperature increase that initiates the process.
Can an electric circuit burn paper if it comes into contact with it?
Yes, if the circuit gets hot enough.
Can you start a fire in space?
Burning requires a flammable material and oxygen as well as a heat source. Rocket fuel will burn in space because it contains its own oxygen. Applying a heat source will ignite rocket fuel. A fuel such as gasoline will not burn in space as there is no oxygen present.
What does Cells require to burn up food?
cells require oxygen to burn sugar.
Do electric heaters have side effects?
Yes. Electric heater or any heater reduces the humidity of the room. Reduced humidity for long time reduces the water content of body. Room heaters that burn fuel in a locked room also consume more oxygen. And, it may lead to oxygen insufficiency for human breathing. This does not apply to electric heaters.
Can you get a tan from an electric heater?
No, you need ultra violet radiation to tan or burn.
Why do space rockets have to carry a supply of oxygen?
In space there is no oxygen. Space is a vacuum. All things like a rocket going to space, require a fuel to burn, oxygen and a heater. Since there is no oxygen is space they need to provide it for them. Meaning the reaction can take place correctly.
Why does flame require air to burn?
fire needs oxygen to burn, because fire is a chemical reaction that needs oxygen. the fire triangle is what fire needs to burn and is this- heat, fuel, and oxygen.
What do fuels require in order to burn?
oxygen and an ignition source of course
Does a fossil fuel burn in the air?
All fuels that 'burn' require air or an oxygen source for combustion. Therefore,fossil fuel also burn in the air.
Can you get hydrogen back if you burn it?
Yes. When you burn hydrogen the product is water. If you pass an electric current through that water you can split it back into hydrogen and oxygen.
Why do space shuttles need separate oxygen to burn the fuel in the space shuttle?
Answer: All combustion reactions require oxygen, since there is no oxygen in space, they must bring it with them.
Will an electric water heater burn out if no water is being put into tank?
The electric heating elements within the tank must remain immersed in water. If the power is not disconnected before draining the tank, the elements will get too hot and will burn out. if the tank is sitting idle but remains full of water, then they should not burn out.
What is the chimical compoition of burn oil and grove heater mix?
by mixing the burn motor oil with grove heater the diesel will burn slower
Will oxygen and iron burn?
Iron will burn in pure oxygen.
