Frequently Asked Questions

What does statohm centimeter measure?
It measures electrical resistivity in the CGS electrostatic (esu) system, indicating how strongly a material resists electric current in those units.

Why convert statohm centimeter to ohm inch?
To translate resistivity data from an older CGS-ESU system into an imperial unit commonly used in engineering and industry, aiding in comparison and application of legacy data.

Is the conversion factor large or small?
The factor is extremely large due to differences between the CGS-ESU and imperial unit systems, reflecting their different scales.

Key Terminology

Statohm centimeter
A CGS-ESU unit of electrical resistivity representing resistance expressed in statohms for a one-centimetre length.
Ohm inch
An imperial unit of electrical resistivity equal to the resistance of a one-inch length specimen with one square inch cross-sectional area.
Electrical resistivity
A measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current.
