Ohm-meters to ohm-centimeters

Type a value in Ω·m to get it in Ω·cm instantly.

1×10⁻⁴Ω·cm

That's 7× as conductive as steel, while seawater is 200,000× higher. A meter of 1 mm² wire made of it would have about 1 Ω of resistance.

What it means

How well does it conduct?

Resistivity rises with temperature for metals and falls for semiconductors. Published values are at 20 °C unless stated otherwise.

The math

How to convert Ω·m to Ω·cm

To convert ohm-meters to ohm-centimeters, multiply by 100.

Example: 1×10⁻⁶ Ω·m × 100 = 1×10⁻⁴ Ω·cm.

In the other direction, 1 Ω·cm = 0.01 Ω·m.
