Temperature generated by resistance wire??
I've got a problem I need some help on.
I have 9.42 inches of a semi-coiled (the coils are horizantal, not vertical like wrapping wire around a pencil) design resistance wire rated at 4.701 ohms/foot. I have a 12vac power source with a 600ma rating. Is it possible to calculate what temperature is generated by the wire? Let's consider the increased resistance of the wire with increased temperature as negligible.
Thanks all you smarties
