Yes
See post #19. The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.

 

LOL.. I know I'm going to regret this.. but I did it anyway.
Now all I have to do is enter the values, and presto.. I got my resistance in Ohm's.
Took about a couple minutes, but I got a working calculator for resistance of wire for any material.
Yes, it displays it without scientific notation. Made my app handle the large numbers with DECIMAL. Which is bigger than double.

 

It has it's uses..

 

So, lol.. so that means.. If I wanted to make a filament or heating element with .999 Silver, which can be found at RioGrande

So I wanted to do 100 Watts, at 12vdc, so that's a resistance of 1.44Ω

1.44Ω / 0.0015282807615091874425889345Ω Ft, for .999 Silver 12 Gauge, lol..

That's 942.23 Feet I'd need.

Ok.. ok.. let's get real.. umm.. let's not use 12 gauge silver wire.

Let's use 28 ga. .999 Silver wire.. just for kicks. .013" diameter.
Looks like it's 0.0566292908449045605905150291Ω / FT.

How long would it have to be?, 100 Watts, 12vdc, 1.44Ω

1.44Ω / 0.0566292908449045605905150291Ω / FT = 25.428536690382545519333653355282 FEET..

LMAO !!! That's crazy !!!

Wow.. that stuff really is conductive !!

Compared to pure copper? (28 ga. 0.01260" Diameter)
So that's 0.0653211495921171057403163173 Ω/FT

1.44Ω / 0.0653211495921171057403163173Ω/FT = 22.044927393221778687176863926602 Feet

So.. 22.044 feet for Copper, vs. 25.428 feet for .999 Silver

That's pretty neat..

It's nice to see a fellow geek having fun doing something they enjoy. Teach a man to fish and he can feed himself for a lifetime.

I honestly never really understood the difference between a Geek and a Nerd. I always considered myself a Nerd, but never was really sure. I just basically call myself a student. I like to learn about all kinds of stuff. Let it be sewing, jewelry making, structural engineering, Mathematics, or whatever. I'm into all kinds of stuff, it's crazy. I figure if I'm going to live, I midas well learn something while I'm here, even if I'm going to die one day, and lose & forget everything.

Sure.. Np.

Hi,

Next you might consider the change in resistance with an increase in temperature, which is about 0.00393 per degree C.
The wire heats up a little as current flows so the resistance changes a little.

Have fun

 

As an aside, it should be noted that graphene is an allotrope of carbon, most others of which (including many other fullerenes [at room temperatures]) are poor to non-conductors... --- While I have not researched the matter, I doubt that graphene exhibits superconductivity/cis-superconductivity at room temperature???...
