Hello, I have a question that relates to heating element project I am working on. Based on joule's law, we can derive the energy lost (load) from running electricity through a wire.
J = I^2 * R
(r = resistance in ohms, I = current in amps).
Using this fact that resistance in wire releases energy (joules) in the form of heat, I'm wondering if we know what the wire is made of, it's size and length, the resistance (per cm) and the power running through it, could I get an exact temperature rise?
