I've been working on a project that I posted on here the other day. I was looking at using resistance wire to make a heated stirring attachment.
I am now ready to build a tester to try out my theory.
Using W=V2/R I worked out that using 230v I would need 5.7 ohm/metre to achieve my 100 watt target based on the total length of the wire needed.
However, I found examples of this equation being used accurately with DC electrics. Would the resistance wire behave the same with AC ?
If not, then how do I work out this equation using AC?
Any thoughts would help on this......................
Thankyou in advance!
