Physics calculatorElectrical Resistance from Resistivity
Calculate resistance (ω) using the electrical resistance from resistivity formula.
How the Electrical Resistance from Resistivity works
This calculator applies the formula given in Formulae and Tables, State Examinations Commission (2014), page 62. Enter values in consistent units.
Formula and inputs
resistivity × length ÷ area
Inputs: Resistivity (Ω·m), Length (m), Area (m²).
Using the result
The result is rounded to 8 decimal places. Check units, assumptions and significant figures before using the answer.
