Will forced air on PCB improve current capacity of trace?


If a trace can carry 3A for a temperature rise of 20°C, will adding forced air over the board increase current capability (by any factor)?


Is the current limit defined by the heat or is it the properties of the material (geometry, type, etc..)?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
