James, Kai, and David are having a debate. They are trying to identify a device that transforms electric energy into thermal energy. James thinks it's a convection current, Kai believes it's a heating appliance, and David is convinced it's thermal contraction or thermal expansion. Who do you think is correct?

• James - convection current

• Kai - heating appliance

• David - thermal contraction

• David - thermal expansion
