Power in a wire where current is flowing can be calculated from the product of the square of the current and the resistance. Resistance is equal to the product of resistivity and length divided by the area of the wire. We do as follows:
Resistance = 2.44 × 10-8 ( 0.11) / (π)(0.0009)^2 = 1.055x10^-3 Ω
P = I^2R = .170^2 (1.055x10^-3 ) = 3.048x10^-5 W
