Frequently Asked Questions

What is a barn used for?
A barn is primarily used in nuclear and particle physics to express very small cross-sectional areas related to scattering and reaction processes.

Why convert barn to circular mil?
Users convert barn to circular mil to relate nuclear-scale measurements to units used in electrical engineering, helping compare physics data with wire cross-sectional areas.

Is barn suitable for electrical engineering calculations?
No, barn is extremely small and typically not practical for standard electrical engineering measurements, so conversions should be done with caution.

Key Terminology

Barn [b]
A unit of area equal to 1×10⁻²⁸ square meters used mainly in nuclear physics to express cross-sectional areas.
Circular mil
A non-SI unit of area equal to the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil, used primarily for round electrical conductor cross sections.
Cross-sectional area
The size of a slice or surface area, often used to describe the area of wires or particles in physics.
