Ohmic Loss for DC Conduction

The Ohmic loss, P, that is generated in conductors when solving DC current flow problems, is given by the following equation:

where

• is the electric field.
• is the electric current density.

For the sake of brevity, the ohmic loss density in the post processor should be labeled as Ohmic Loss. The total ohmic loss of an object or the whole arrangement can be calculated by integrating over a proper volume in the Field Calculator.
