I've gotten some work done (not 100% sure it's correct though): I got a resistance of 0.0165 ohm/foot for AWG22 for copper from a copper wire resistance table. Using this and the 120 V from the wall, I calculated a power of 872,727 W/ft. From here, is there a way to determine the temperature...
So they decided to give me an electrical problem at work, and I am completely lost. They're worried about 120V from the wall crossing over onto a 22 AWG wire and causing it to heat up. Is there a way to calculate temperature versus time for this situation? The length of the wire will change...
