How do you convert mega ohms to mega ohms.cm?

Answer 1

Sorry. You cannot convert ohm-cm to Mohms, just like you cannot convert mph to miles. They are two different concepts.

If you also have the thickness of the material (say along the z axis) in question, then you can divide ohm-cm by the thickness to get to ohm per square. In order to convert ohm per square to ohms, you also need to know the number of squares (the x-y plane).

An example. Let us assume a metal ruler of two cm wide (x), one meter long (y), and 0.2 cm thick (z). Let us assume the resistivity of the metal is 1 ohm-cm. Find the resistance of the metal along the length of the ruler (in the y direction).

Resistivity = 1 ohm-cm

Thickness = 0.2 cm.

Sheet resistance = 1 [ohm-cm] / 0.2 [cm] = 5 ohms/square

Number of squares = 1 [m] / 2 [cm] = 50 squares

Total resistance along y = Sheet resistance * number of squares = 250 ohms.

Q.E.D.

P.S. Note that the term, resistivity, is a general property of the metal, no specific design in mind. Resistance is calculated for a specific object (the ruler) made of the metal. "Square" is not one of the SI units, but "Square" and "sheet resistance" are terms used by engineers to describe thin films.

Answer 2

1 milliohm = 0.001 ohm.

Answer 3

you can't, different units
