Abstract :
Temperature distribution and heat flow in electrical conductors have been subjected to a mathematical analysis, which brings out a number of interesting thermal characteristics of conductors. The material presented in this paper is divided into 2 principal parts, the first being a general solution of the problem of determining temperature and heat distribution in conductors, and the second containing the development of the theory of the electrothermic ammeter of the thermocouple type, together with its compensation features. Practical applications of the theory are presented.
