Electric Kettle/Electric Kettle

An electric kettle is an electrical appliance that quickly boils water using electricity . It functions as a water heater, converting electrical energy into heat through a process called resistive (Joule) heating . Here's how it works: 1. Heating Element: When plugged into an electrical outlet, a large electric current flows through a metal coil, known as the heating element, located at the base of the kettle . 2. Resistance Heating: The resistance of the metal coil causes it to heat up significantly . 3. Heat Transfer: This heat is transferred to the water at the bottom of the kettle, warming it . 4. Convection: Convection currents circulate the water, ensuring that the e
