Frequently Asked Questions

What does circular mil ohm/foot measure?
It is a unit of electrical resistivity that relates the resistance of a conductor to a cross-sectional area of one circular mil and a length of one foot.

Why convert to abohm centimeter?
Converting to abohm centimeter allows comparison with historical resistivity data and supports theoretical work using the cgs electromagnetic unit system.

Is this conversion precise for all conditions?
The conversion factor is exact for units, but practical resistivity depends on temperature and material quality, which are not addressed by the conversion alone.

Key Terminology

Circular mil ohm/foot
