Calculate Nichrome Resistance



Formula

The formula to calculate the resistance of a nichrome wire (R) is:

R=pLA

Where:

Resistance of Nichrome Definition

Nichrome material has a resistivity of 150×108 ohm-meters, so the total resistance will be determined by the diameter and the length of the wire.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Resistance (R):

R=150×10820.0001=0.003ohms

The Resistance (R) is 0.003 ohms.
