electricpy.wireresistance(length=None, diameter=None, rho=1.68e-08, R=None)[source]¶

Wire Resistance Calculator.

Enter three values to calculate the remaing one. Even though every variable is unitless, please use the International System of Units.

\[R = \frac{\rho*l}{A}\]

Parameters:¶

length : [float], optional¶

Wire length, unitless

diameter : [float], optional¶

Wire diameter, unitless.

rho : [float], optional¶

Material resistivity, unitless Default value is copper resistivity: 16.8*10-9

R : [float], optional¶

Wire resistance, unitless.

Returns:¶

• length ([float], optional) – Wire length, unitless

• diameter ([float], optional) – Wire diameter, unitless.

• rho ([float], optional) – Material resistivity, unitless Default value is copper resistivity: 16.8*10-9

• R ([float], optional) – Wire resistance, unitless.
