Since running a current through a wire will increase the temperature of the wire, is there an equation for calculating the increase in temperature?
I’m thinking it would vary depending on the cross sectional area of the wire, the temperature of the surrounding material, the starting temperature of the wire, the specific heat capacity of the wire.
I’m planning on making an electromagnet and I started thinking about this when I was trying to decide what grade wire to use.
