Frequently Asked Questions

What is a statohm centimeter?
A statohm centimeter is a unit of electrical resistivity in the CGS-ESU system, representing resistivity based on a one-centimeter length and resistance of one statohm.

Why convert statohm centimeter to microhm centimeter?
Converting to microhm centimeter allows comparison of legacy or theoretical data with modern resistivity measurements commonly reported in SI-based units.

What should I be careful about when converting these units?
Due to the extremely large conversion factor and differences in measurement conventions, it’s important to handle values carefully to avoid numerical errors.
