Frequently Asked Questions

What is a statohm centimeter unit?
It is a unit of electrical resistivity in the CGS electrostatic system indicating resistance per centimetre length.

When should I use circular mil ohm/foot?
It is used for calculating electrical resistance of conductors based on length in feet and cross-sectional area in circular mils.

Why is the conversion factor so large?
Because statohm centimeter and circular mil ohm/foot come from very different unit systems requiring significant scaling.

Key Terminology

Statohm centimeter
A CGS-ESU unit of electrical resistivity representing resistance over a one centimetre length.
Circular mil ohm/foot
