Answer:

It is the transformed electrical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is an electric kettle introduced into cold water, it will make the water temperature to rise up this is because the electric kettle is basically a resistance that is heating up because the electric energy doesnot have a place to go, so its basically a piece of metal that is heating up because of the electricity that is ciculating through it, so the heat energy is the electrical energy transformed.
