Frequently Asked Questions

What does ohm inch measure?
Ohm inch is a unit of electrical resistivity expressing the resistance of a one-inch long material specimen with a one-square-inch cross section, indicating how strongly the material opposes electrical current.

Why convert from ohm inch to statohm centimeter?
This conversion is useful to translate resistivity data from imperial-based units to the CGS electrostatic system, facilitating comparison, interpretation, and theoretical calculations in fields that use CGS units.

Are statohm centimeters commonly used in modern engineering?
No, statohm centimeters are largely obsolete and mainly used for compatibility with historical literature, limiting their use in current engineering applications.

Key Terminology

Ohm Inch (Ω·in)
A unit of electrical resistivity measuring resistance of a material one inch long with one square inch cross-sectional area, used primarily in imperial unit contexts.
Statohm Centimeter
A CGS electrostatic unit of electrical resistivity describing resistivity yielding one statohm of resistance for a one-centimeter length in the CGS-ESU system.
Electrical Resistivity
A measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current.
