Is electric energy converted to heat energy or light energy?

Yes, electrical energy can be changed into thermal (heat) energy. Light is electromagnetic energy, and electricity can be changed into light energy. We know that a resistance heater changes electrical energy into thermal energy. An electric range does this, as does an electric space heater. We see electrical energy changed into light in fluorescent lights.

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.
