Frequently Asked Questions

What does one ohm represent?
One ohm is the electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when one volt applied produces a current of one ampere.

Why use microhm units?
Microhms are used to measure very small resistances encountered in conductors, contacts, and precision resistors.

How is microhm measurement accuracy ensured?
Using four-terminal Kelvin methods helps minimize lead and contact resistance errors during measurement.

Key Terminology

Ohm
The SI derived unit of electrical resistance, representing opposition to electric current flow.
Microhm
A unit of electrical resistance equal to one millionth of an ohm, used for measuring very small resistances.
Four-terminal Kelvin method
A measurement technique that reduces lead and contact resistance errors, improving accuracy for low-resistance measurements.
