Electric Resistivity Converter
Resistivity is a property of a material describing how strongly it resists current, independent of the object’s shape. The SI unit is the ohm-metre (Ω·m). Copper’s resistivity is about 1.7 × 10⁻⁸ Ω·m, one reason it is used for wiring.
1 Ohm-Meter = 100 Ohm-Centimeter
How to convert Ohm-Meter to Ohm-Centimeter
One Ohm-Meter equals 100 Ohm-Centimeter, so multiply any value in Ω·m by 100 to get Ω·cm. To convert back, divide by 100 — or multiply by 0.01.
Ω·cm = Ω·m × 100
Example: 25 Ω·m × 100 = 2,500 Ω·cm.
