What is Resistance Per Meter?

The resistance per meter is a measure of the electrical resistance of a conductor per unit length. It is calculated by dividing the total resistance of the conductor by its total length. This metric is useful for understanding the electrical properties of materials and for designing electrical circuits.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Step 1: Divide the total resistance by the total length:

\[ \frac{R}{L} = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \]

The resistance per meter is 2 ohms/m.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Step 1: Divide the total resistance by the total length:

\[ \frac{R}{L} = \frac{15}{3} = 5 \]

The resistance per meter is 5 ohms/m.
