A bit of googling will probably find one.  Or, you could work from first
principles and derive it (resistance is pretty much a linear function of
temperature, temperature depends on power dissipated-power lost, power lost
goes as k1* T^4 + k2 * T (radiation loss + conduction loss), power
dissipated is proportional to E^2/R(T).

More usefully... get a voltmeter, ammeter, and a lightbulb and measure it.
