6. Electric heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

   An electric heater is an electrical device that converts an electric current into heat. [1] The heating element inside every electric heater is an electrical resistor , and works on the principle of Joule heating : an electric current passing through a resistor will convert that electrical energy into heat energy.

7. Space heater - Wikipedia

   Avoiding the use of heaters near flammable materials such as paint or gasoline. Installing smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors nearby. The risk of fire (and burns) is sometimes less with oil-filled heaters than those with fans, [8] [9] but some fan-assisted heaters have a lower risk of fire (and burns) than other oil-filled heaters.
