heating coil
Electric warmth source
A heating coil is a length of wire or tubing wound in a spiral that generates heat when electric current passes through it or when hot fluid circulates inside.
Found in appliances like toasters, ovens, water heaters, and HVAC systems: The heating coil in the old radiator needs replacing.
The coiled shape maximizes surface area for efficient heat transfer.
