Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the correct input and output units before performing the conversion
  • Use this tool primarily for theoretical, historical, or comparative analysis rather than direct measurement
  • Be aware that the statohm is now obsolete and numerical values are extremely small when converted from microhm
  • Consider potential rounding or precision limitations when working with very small statohm values

Limitations

  • The statohm is an outdated unit seldom used in modern practical measurements
  • Conversion results can involve extremely small numbers, which might cause rounding errors
  • Direct experimental use of statohm values is uncommon due to its obsolescence

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a microhm used for?
A microhm quantifies very small electrical resistances in conductors, contacts, and precision shunts, and is commonly used in high-current busbars and precision resistor measurements.

Why convert microhm to statohm?
Users convert microhm to statohm to compare modern SI resistance values with historical CGS-ESU data or to interpret classical electromagnetic theory.

Is the statohm still used in practical measurements?
No, the statohm is largely obsolete and primarily appears in theoretical or historical contexts rather than current practical measurements.

Key Terminology

Microhm (µΩ)
A unit of electrical resistance equal to one millionth of an ohm, used to measure very small resistances in conductors and precision devices.
Statohm
An obsolete unit of electrical resistance in the electrostatic variant of the CGS system, primarily found in theoretical or historical electromagnetism contexts.
CGS-ESU system
A centimetre–gram–second system variant based on electrostatic units used historically in physics and electromagnetism.
