    Calculate the temperature of a wire as an electrical current flows through it

    Hey, so I'm just wondering what are the formulas needed to calculate the temperature of a wire after x amount of time as an electrical current is passed through it. I know how to solve for it... I just forgot the formulas. Thanks

    Can the equation E = pc be applied to particles?

    Homework Statement Can the equation E = pc be applied to particles? Why or why not?Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution It can be applied to particles that DONT have a rest mass (photons, which are particles). It can not be applied to particles that have a rest mass (almost everything).
