Ohm Meter

Ω·m

Definition

The SI base unit of electric resistivity, representing the resistance of a material per unit length when a current flows through it. One ohm meter is the resistivity of a material that has a resistance of one ohm when the current flows through a cube of the material with sides of one meter.

History/Origin

Named after Georg Simon Ohm, the German physicist who formulated Ohm's law in 1827. The ohm meter unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a standardized measure of electrical resistivity.

Current Use

Widely used in electrical engineering, materials science, and physics for measuring the electrical resistance properties of conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. Essential for designing electrical circuits, cables, and electronic components.

Statohm Centimeter

stΩ·cm

Definition

A very large unit of electric resistivity in the CGS electrostatic system equal to approximately 8.99 billion ohm meters. Used for measuring extremely high resistivity materials like insulators and semiconductors.

History/Origin

Part of the CGS electrostatic system of units, where "stat" stands for "electrostatic." The statohm centimeter was used for measuring very high resistivity materials in early electrical research and materials characterization.

Current Use

Used in specialized scientific research for measuring extremely high resistivity materials like insulators, ceramics, and certain semiconductors. Still referenced in some physics and materials science literature.
