I am passing Xamps thru a Ylenth of conductor for time t sec. can anybody suggest me how to calculate temperarure rise in the conductor after time tsec in a conductor
lala_alak said:If you know the resistivity of the conductor,alongwith the cross sectional area,you can find the resistance as (resistivity)*length/area,then the total energy dissipated is (current)squared * resistance.
does that help?

Integral said:Realistically temperature can only be calculated in ideal and over simplified situations. There are many factors which effect the final temperature so it is very difficult to consider them all. A very large factor in the temperature of any object is the the temperature of the surroundings and the proximity of other objects. You can calculate accurately total energy loss or gain, but that does not automatically get you temperature.
The best way to find the temperature of a system is to measure it.
The formula for calculating temperature rise in a conductor after time t is: ΔT = (I^2 x R x t) / (C x m)
I represents the current flowing through the conductor, R represents the resistance of the conductor, t represents the time in seconds, C represents the specific heat capacity of the conductor material, and m represents the mass of the conductor.
The higher the current flowing through the conductor, the higher the temperature rise will be. This is because the formula for temperature rise includes the current squared.
The resistance of the conductor plays a crucial role in determining the temperature rise. A higher resistance means that more energy is being converted into heat, resulting in a higher temperature rise.
Yes, there is a maximum temperature that a conductor can reach before it starts to deteriorate or melt. This temperature is known as the melting point or critical temperature of the conductor material.
