Electrical current occurs when electrons move. As the electrons through a medium, such as a wire, they experience friction, which produces heat. The fast the electrons are moving, the more friction they experience and the more heat is generated. Typically, this heat energy dissipates and is not useful. Electrical heating applicances sned current through highly resistant materials to cause high amounts of heat through friction. This is the basic premise of an electric stove range. Super-conduction is when electrons flow without any friction and therefore keep all of their energy as electricity. This can happen in certain materials at extremely low temperatures.

What are the seven different types of energies?
thermal nuclear chemicals mechanical light electrical sound
Is firewood an indirect form of solar energy?
Well it depends on how you look at it. Firewood itself isn't because it isn't producing any thermal or electric energy. If you are looking at it as firewood being burned then yes it is an indirect form of solar because it is being converted to thermal energy
Is thermal scanning and heat vision thermal energy?
yes because thermal is heat
What are ten thermal things why are they thermal?
plastic
What is the suffix for thermal energy?
The suffix for thermal energy is "ies" as in "energies". The word "thermal" is derived from German. Thus the suffix for thermal is "en" as in "thermalen".
The transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic wave?

An electric blanket converts electrical energy to?
thermal energy
Is a shiny element element a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Yes, this is mostly true. It starts to become untrue near silicon.
What are types of conduction?
Thermal and Electric
How do you convert thermal to electric energy?
Thermal energy produce water into steam, the pressure OS steam runes the turbine & electric energy is produced.
What is the main type of energy transformation that occurs in the filament of a light bulb?
Electrical energy (the electric current) is transformed into thermal energy (by heating the filament to incandescence), and this thermal energy creates electromagnetic energy in the form of light.
