A typical heating element is usually a coil, ribbon (straight or corrugated), of strip of wire that gives off heat much like a lamp filament. When an electric current flows through it, it glows red hot and converts the electrical energy passing through it into heat, which it radiates out in all directions.
The color blue indicates a temperature even hotter than white. Blue flames usually appear at a temperature between 2,600Âº F and 3,000Âº F. Blue flames have more oxygen and get hotter because gases burn hotter than organic materials, such as wood.
