The Electric Resistance Converter is a powerful tool designed to convert resistance values between multiple units used in electrical and physical systems. Whether you're working with SI units, CGS units, or specialized resistance measurements like the Quantized Hall resistance, this calculator helps you easily convert resistance values across various unit systems. It's especially useful for electrical engineers, physicists, and researchers dealing with different units of resistance in their calculations.
How it works:
This calculator allows you to input a resistance value in any of the following units:
1. Ohm (Ω): The standard unit of electrical resistance in the International System of Units (SI).
2. Megohm (MΩ): One million ohms (1 MΩ = 1,000,000 Ω).
3. Microhm (μΩ): One millionth of an ohm (1 μΩ = 10⁻⁶ Ω).
4. Volt/Ampere (V/A): A derived unit where the resistance is expressed as the ratio of voltage (in volts) to current (in amperes).
5. Reciprocal Siemens (1/S): The reciprocal of electrical conductance (siemens), which is another way to express resistance.
6. Abohm (abΩ): A unit from the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, where 1 abohm = 10^-9 ohms.
7. EMU of Resistance: A unit used in the electromagnetic unit (EMU) system, which is part of the CGS system of units.
8. Statohm (stΩ): A unit used in the CGS system for electrostatic resistance, where 1 statohm is approximately 299.792 ohms.
9. ESU of Resistance: A unit of resistance in the electrostatic unit (ESU) system, also part of the CGS system.
10. Quantized Hall Resistance (R_QH): A specialized resistance value observed in quantum systems, typically related to the Quantum Hall effect, with a fixed value of R_QH = h/e^2 (where h is Planck’s constant and e is the elementary charge).
Calculation:
Once a resistance value is entered in one of the supported units, the tool will automatically calculate the equivalent value in all other units. This helps users quickly compare and convert resistance values across different measurement systems and unit types.
Example:
If you input 1 Ohm (Ω), the calculator would display the following equivalents:
- 1 Ω = 1,000,000 μΩ
- 1 Ω = 0.000001 MΩ
- 1 Ω = 1 V/A
- 1 Ω = 1 Reciprocal Siemens (1/S)
- 1 Ω = 1 abΩ × 10⁹
- 1 Ω = 1 EMU of resistance
- 1 Ω = 299.792 statΩ
- 1 Ω = 8.238 × 10⁹ ESU of resistance
- 1 Ω = 25.812 × 10⁹ Quantized Hall resistance (R_QH)
Key Features:
