Conductor Resistance Calculator

Uses R = ρ(T) L / A with a linear temperature model for annealed copper and aluminum references at 20 °C. Intended for DC resistance estimates of a single homogeneous conductor; AC skin and proximity effects are out of scope.

How to use

  1. 1Enter conductor length in meters and cross-section in mm².
  2. 2Select copper or aluminum.
  3. 3Set operating temperature in °C.
  4. 4Read resistivity at that temperature and resistance in ohms.

Frequently asked questions

Is this AC resistance?
No. It is a DC / low-frequency lumped approximation; AC effects can raise effective resistance.
Are constants exact for every alloy?
No. Values are typical references; use supplier data when traceability matters.
