About electric resistivity units

Resistivity is a material property: the resistance of a unit cube. Copper is about 1.68 × 10⁻⁸ Ω·m (1.68 µΩ·cm); US wire tables use ohm-circular-mils per foot.

Frequently asked questions

What is the SI unit of electric resistivity?

This converter uses the ohm meter (Ω⋅m) as its reference unit; every other unit is defined relative to it.

How many electric resistivity units can I convert?

7 units are supported here, across SI, Metric, US customary, CGS systems. Every pair can be converted in both directions.

Does this electric resistivity converter work offline?

Yes. Once the page has loaded, every calculation runs locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
