About This Tool

This Electric Resistance Converter is a primary tool for electronics design and circuit analysis. It converts units of electrical resistance, which is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. The base unit is the ohm (Ω).

Resistance is a fundamental property in electronics, described by Ohm's Law (V=IR). This tool covers the standard SI unit and its multiples, as well as obsolete units from the CGS system.

Tips & Features

  • The Ohm (Ω): The ohm is the SI unit of electrical resistance, defined as the resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt, applied to these points, produces a current of one ampere.
  • Ohm's Law: Resistance (R) is the ratio of voltage (V) to current (I). Therefore, 1 Ohm = 1 Volt / 1 Ampere.
  • EMU vs. ESU: The abohm and statohm are the obsolete CGS units for resistance in the electromagnetic and electrostatic systems, respectively.
