What Is This Tool?

This tool converts measurements of electrical resistance from microhm (µΩ), a unit representing very small resistances, to volt per ampere (V/A), the SI derived unit equivalent to one ohm. It's designed for use in precision electrical applications where accurate unit conversion is essential.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numerical value of resistance in microhm.
  • Select microhm as the original unit and volt per ampere (V/A) as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent resistance in V/A.

Key Features

  • Converts microhm values to volt per ampere (V/A) accurately.
  • Expresses very small resistances in the standard SI unit ohm.
  • Supports use cases in electrical engineering, instrumentation, and research.
  • User-friendly and browser-based with straightforward input options.

Examples

  • 5 Microhm equals 0.000005 Volt per ampere (V/A).
  • 100 Microhm equals 0.0001 Volt per ampere (V/A).

Common Use Cases

  • Measuring contact resistance in high-current connectors and busbars.
  • Specifying and verifying low-resistance current shunts and precision resistors.
  • Characterizing residual resistance in superconductors and high-purity conductors at low temperatures.
  • Applying Ohm’s law in circuit analysis and design.
  • Calibrating and testing electrical components with ohmmeters.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use four-terminal (Kelvin) measurement methods to minimize lead and contact resistance errors.
  • Ensure stable environmental conditions when measuring very low resistances.
  • Verify converted values against known standards when possible for accuracy.
  • Apply conversions only to purely resistive elements without reactive components.

Limitations

  • Requires precise measurement techniques due to extremely small resistance values.
  • Does not account for reactive components; applies to pure resistance only.
  • Environmental factors and contact resistance may affect measurement accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a microhm used for?
A microhm is used to measure very small electrical resistances such as contact or joint resistance in high-current connectors and to specify precision resistors.

How is volt per ampere related to ohm?
Volt per ampere (V/A) is the SI derived unit of electrical resistance and is equal to one ohm.

Why use four-terminal measurements for microhm?
Four-terminal (Kelvin) methods minimize lead and contact resistance errors, which is critical when measuring extremely small resistances like microhms.

Key Terminology

Microhm (µΩ)
