Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does the statohm centimeter measure?
-
It measures electrical resistivity within the CGS electrostatic (esu) system, indicating how strongly a material resists electric current using CGS-ESU units.
-
Why convert statohm centimeters to ohm meters?
-
Converting allows resistivity values from older CGS-ESU units to be expressed in the modern SI unit ohm meter, facilitating comparison and application in current research and engineering.
-
Is the statohm centimeter unit still commonly used?
-
No, it is largely obsolete and typically encountered only in historical or specialized theoretical studies.
