Frequently Asked Questions

What does microhm centimeter measure?
Microhm centimeter quantifies a material's electrical resistivity, indicating its intrinsic opposition to electric current at a microscopic scale.

Why use circular mil ohm/foot units?
Circular mil ohm/foot is practical for calculating electrical resistance in conductors based on their length in feet and cross-sectional area in circular mils, commonly used in wiring.

Is this conversion suitable for all conductor types?
This conversion is best applied when conductor materials are uniform and cross-sectional shapes are consistent; deviations may affect accuracy.

Key Terminology

Microhm centimeter (µΩ·cm)
A unit of electrical resistivity equal to 1×10⁻⁶ ohm-centimeter; it measures intrinsic opposition to current in a material.
Circular mil ohm/foot
A unit expressing electrical resistance scaled to one circular mil cross-sectional area over one foot length, used for practical conductor resistance.
Resistivity (ρ)
A property quantifying how strongly a material opposes electric current, linking electric field to current density.
