[QUOTE="Simon Bridge, post: 5483642, member: 367532"] Welcome to PF; Short answer: you can't. Knowing two of R,V,I you can find the rate that energy is dissipated in the heater ... the temperature also depends on the temperature of the surroundings. Note: since you observe that the temperature reading via a thermocouple is not uniform across the heater, then the heater probably does not have just one temperature to find. Do you have good reason to think the heater should have uniform temperature? What is the experiment supposed to find out? [/QUOTE]
