The heater element is a coiled wire resistor that draws enough current to supply the intended amount of power, which might be 1.5 - 3 kW. Quickly the temperature of the wire rises until it reaches an equlibrium where the heat power conducted away by convection is the same as that draw from the power supply.

What are the features of an efficient electric heater?
The main feature of an efficient electric heater is, that is used up to 30% less engery than a conventional electric heater. This reduces the cost of the heater.
5-kw electric heater rated at 240 volts equals how many watts?
A 5kw heater draws just that, 5kw or 5000 w. If you have that switched on high, well I do not know what your supplier charges per kw hour, I am glad its not me paying.
Electric heater A has a power rating of 1kw. Electric heater B has a power rating of 800W. which transfers the most energy in 2 hours?
Electric rating of 1Kw

What is electric water heater which used in house?
An electric water heater in a hot tank is called an immersion heater and many of those run at 3 kW with a thermostat to control the max temperature. Power showers use a type of water heater that heats the water at the point where it is used, without a tank. They run at 6-8 kW and are also controlled by a thermostat.
What happens to the energy store when a electric heater is switched on?
When an electric heater is switched on, electrical energy from the power source is converted into heat energy, which warms up the surroundings. The energy store in the heater increases as it transforms electrical energy into thermal energy.
Why does electric bulb become dim when electric heater in parallel circuit is switched on?
The electric heater draws some of the electrical current in the circuit, which reduces the current available for the electric bulb. This leads to a decrease in the brightness of the bulb as it is receiving less power.
What happens to water when next to an electric heater?
Not much, it gets warm as everything else within the heater's range.
How is a person protected from an electric shock when the heater is switched on?
A person is protected from electric shock when a heater is switched on by the design of the electrical system, such as proper grounding and insulation of wires. Additionally, using circuit breakers and ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) can help prevent electric shocks by quickly shutting off power in case of an electrical fault. It's also important for users to never touch the heater with wet hands or while standing in water.
What happens if your hot water heater is on but has no water in it?
If electric, the elements will blow very quickly.
If you fix paper decorations to the wall above a convector heater they flutter when the heater is switched on Why does this happen?
This happens because the heating wires heat up the air around them. This air is less denser than the surrounding, and so it rises up through the top of the heater. If the paper decorations are above the heater, they will definitely flutter because the air is coming through the top.
What costs more in electricity - electric heater or electric guitars?

Is the hot water heater gas and electric?
Gas heater & electric heater both are available.
What will happen to warmed water next to a heater?
The warmed water next to the heater becomes hotter when the heater is switched on.
What are the features of an efficient electric heater?

What happens when a bulb is switched on?
when a light bulb is switched on it will blown..............
Why is there a metal grill at the top of a convector heater?
It allows air to circulate through the heater while switched on.
