How can you convert electrical energy to mechanical sound and heat energy?

To convert electrical energy to mechanical sound and heat energy, you can use an electric motor. The electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy by utilizing the magnetic field generated by the electric current flowing through a coil of wire. The mechanical energy produced can then be used to generate sound and heat energy through the movement and friction of components within the motor.
