Jun 19, 2018 at 1:02	comment	added	Alfred Centauri		I find this an odd question because, on one hand, in the first sentence you seem concerned about the length of the wire(s) which, to me, implies that you're assuming the wire(s) have non-zero resistance per unit length. On the other hand, you ask where and when it is converted into heat which, to me, implies that you're assuming the wire(s) are ideal, i.e., have zero resistance per unit length. Would you mind editing your question to clarify if you're considering the wires ideal or not (or something else entirely)?
