A wire of length 1 m and radius 10^(-3) m is carrying a heavy current and is assumed to radiate as a black body. At equilibrium its temperature is 900 K while that of the surroundings is 300 K. The resistivity of the material of the wire at 300 K is pi^2xx10^(-8)Omega-m and its temperature coefficient of resistance is 7.8xx10^(-3)per@_C (Stefan's constant =5.68xx10^(-8)W-m^2-K^4) . So, the current in the wire is
