In Reply to: Make it "worth the time", what's the insulation resistance of 1mm thick cotton? posted by cheap-Jack on March 27, 2007 at 18:58:03:
Basing on 1,000,000,000R/cm3, I deduce electrical resistance per linear mm is 100R (cube root of the above figure).Uh, 100 is the cube root of 1,000,000,000? I think you need new batteries for your calculator.

Hi.My calculation based on cotton's 100 million ohms/cm3 is 100R/mm.
You said it was "nonsense".Now you come up with less than half of my calculated value, only 42R.
So your's a "Double Nonsense".I got the impression neither of both insulation resistance numbers is correct.
Insulation resistance is in the range of mega ohms. Under a test voltage 250VDC, min. insulation resistance is 250KR. For 500VDC, 500KR, & for 1KV, 1MegaR. If a cotton wire could handle up to 500VDC,
its insulation resistance got to be in maga ohm range.So how you arrived this lowly 42R?

I didn't. Deep Thought did. And it's not 42R, it's simply, forty-two.
