How the formula works
Both centiohm and ohm measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centiohms by 0.01 to get ohms. To reverse the conversion, multiply a ohm value by 100 to get back to centiohms.
Frequently asked questions
What is Centiohm (cΩ)?
A Centiohm (cΩ) equals 1/100 ohm(s), a scaled unit of electrical resistance used for centi-scale electrical work.
What is Ohm (Ω)?
The ohm (Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, describing how strongly a material opposes current flow.
How do I convert centiohms to ohms?
Multiply the centiohm value by 0.01 to get the equivalent in ohms. For example, 5 cΩ × 0.01 = 0.05 Ω.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.01 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert ohms back to centiohms?
Yes. Divide the ohm value by 0.01, or multiply it by 100, to get centiohms.
