Any modern (made within the last ~20 years) electric stove is going to just have a flat top with markings, just like an induction stove.[0] Before that you'd have a flat surface with a cast iron disk protruding for each hot surface.[1] Less trivial than the flat surface, but still not too bad. I've seen.. maybe.. one with an exposed coil in my entire life, and that thing was ancient. Faaaaar from "generally use".
