Effect of joule heat on the distribution of electric current in a cylindrical conductor

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Analyzed are the thermal conditions in a cylindrical conductor whose electrical conductivity is temperature-dependent. It is shown that a sufficiently large current is crowded toward the conductor surface with a change in the heat balance at the surface. The behavior of cylindrical semiconductors under analogous conditions is also examined.
