How To Produce Heat By Elctricity

How can electricity produce fire?

basically heat. you know how if you get a magnifying glass and aim a sun ray onto a leaf it burns and may even ignite? thats because of the heat from the sun. by using heat from electricity (example - how a light bulb gets hot after its been on for a while) you can start a fire due to a large mass of heat. and thats why u should never put paper over a lamp :P

Can we make electricity with heat?

Electricity is a means of TRANSPORTING ENERGY.
You cannot actually make electricity at all. You give electricity energy. The consumer uses the energy, not the electricity.
The electricity is returned to the generator via the neutral wire.

And we have many ways for converting heat energy to motion and thence to electrical energy.
Internal combustion engines, steam engines, hot air engines.
Even your wind turbines are powered by the movement of air which is caused by...... ( wait for it )....HEAT.
There are very few ways to make electrical energy without heat.
Primarily this is done by extracting chemicals via mining.
However in many cases we extract the chemicals through the use of ELECTRICAL ENERGY which we later get back again.
So even in these cases it is primarily heat that is the source of the energy.

How is electricity used to produce heat, light and sound?

It's when you plug in something and it comes on, sometimes it's light, heat and sound. The real answer is Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. The nucleus contains positively charged particles called protons and uncharged particles called neutrons. The nucleus of an atom is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons. The negative charge of an electron is equal to the positive charge of a proton, and the number of electrons in an atom is usually equal to the number of protons. When the balancing force between protons and electrons is upset by an outside force, an atom may gain or lose an electron. When electrons are "lost" from an atom, the free movement of these electrons constitutes an electric current, do you understand this.. no so if your writing a paper just answer you tell me and we will both know.
