What does the electric circuit of a kettle look like?

Answer 1

It looks just like the same circuit as an electrical light, except it has two switches instead of one in the power supply, one switch turns on the power, the other switch is normally closed , this other switch is called a 'thermostat' it will open and interrupt the power supply and switch off the kettle when the water temperature reaches boiling point. This second switch will reset its self when the power is switched back on (if the temperature is below boiling point).
Now that, I've written that up I realize how silly it must read, esp' if you dont know what a an electirical light circuit looks like?
Better luck with your other answers!

Answer 2

The heating element in the kettle is essentially a long wire which is connected across the input the wires (ie the plug) As the long wire short circuits the input wires it heats up causing the kettle to get hot. The electrical energy is converted to thermanl energy.

Answer 3

It`s a pity it can`t be drawn here.
Basically the connections are :-
live(supply) --- live of kettle switch-----neutral side of kettle switch to thermostat---------other side of thermostat to heating element--------other side of heating element-------neutral (supply)
