You connect a battery to an electrical motor. some of the energy goes into thermal energy but some goes into work that makes the motor rotates. That is just one possible example

I can confirm that the statement "The electric energy of the system can only vary when it is converted into thermal energy" is false. There are several other factors that can affect electric energy, such as changes in the potential difference or electric field strength within the system, changes in the amount or type of electric charges present, and changes in the distance between charges. In fact, electric energy can be converted into many different forms, not just thermal energy. For example, electric energy can be converted into mechanical energy in electric motors, or into light energy in electric bulbs. Therefore, it is important to consider all potential factors when determining the electric energy of a system and not limit it to just thermal energy conversion.
