Abstract
The theory of the heat losses from an electrically heated wire, as given by Roberts and Kannuluik, has been extended to include a wire supported by springs. The results obtained have been used in a measurement of the thermal conductivity of commercial tungsten wire in the temperature range from 78°K to 273°K. There are definite indications that the Wiedemann‐Franz law breaks down badly in this region.Keywords
