    Calculating temp rise in copper wire

    Thanks for your reply. I already know what the power consumption is. What I'm after is the rise in temperature due to the power. I don't think this is a hard question. I'm sure there is some smart physics guy/gal on this forum that can answer it quickly. I think the winding interaction and...

    Calculating temp rise in copper wire

    I'm not really concerned about the ferrite loss. For argument sake, let's ignore it or throw it out of the eqn. Is there a method/approach to solving this problem? I spoke with EE Phd's and scoured the internet for two days with no solution. I would suspect this was a rather simple...

    Calculating temp rise in copper wire

    I'm not sure if this question belongs in the forum or the physics forum, I guess I'll post it there as well. I'm trying to calculate the temperature rise in a coil of wire (27AWG) wound around a toroid. The current through the wire is ~0.5A with a calculated voltage drop of 14.64mV across the...
