Electric Resistivity Converter
Resistivity is how strongly a material resists current, independent of its shape — the reciprocal of conductivity. The SI unit is the ohm meter. Semiconductor wafers are specified in ohm centimeters, and US wire tables use ohm circular-mil per foot.

About electric resistivity conversion
Electric Resistivity conversion is commonly needed when semiconductor wafer specs, grounding studies, and wire tables. Resistivity is the reciprocal of conductivity, so a low ohm-metre figure means a good conductor.
