they both have heating elements right?
do they make use of conduction and convection?
does the water heater make use of hydraulic systems???
f.y.i, by water heater i mean the one you use to boil your drinking water, not the bathing one...
please answer seriously and coherently! thanks:)
the first helpful answer gets 10 points!!

Water heater heat the certain flow rate of water instantly to set temperature while electric kettle heat certain amount of water to boiling point and automatically off.

<>If you are referring to the type of vessel in which you boil water for tea, it is not usually referred to as a 'water heater;' that term is reserved for the large tank that heats water for sink and bath. Your electric kettle uses convection and conduction to heat the water. Conduction by direct transfer of heat and and convection by the rising of warm water and allowing cool water to sink to the bottom and be heated.

Both are similar. The hydraulic system is just added externally to the water heater

a water heater will heat the water to a specific temperature as preset by you, then cut out until the temp drops, then it will come back on to reach and maintain the specified temp a kettle will only heat water to boiling point then turn itself off

in water heater there is no hydraulic system at all.in kettle it happens just because it is an isolated system so exchange of heat takes placehence the liquid remains hot.Instead in water heater it generates heat for temp.
