Circular Mil

A circular mil is a unit of area used mainly to measure the cross-sectional area of round wires and cables in electrical engineering.

• 
  

  Defined as the area of a circle with a diameter of 1 mil (1 mil = 0.001 inch).

  
  
• 
  

  Area = (diameter in mils)² circular mils.

  
  
• 
  

  1 circular mil ≈ 7.854 × 10⁻¹⁰ square meters or 0.7854 square mils.

  
  

Circular mils simplify calculations for round wires since area scales with the square of the diameter.

Are [a]

An are (a) is a unit of area equal to 100 square meters (m²). It is commonly used in land measurement, especially in some European countries.

1 are = 100 m² = 0.01 hectares.

Ares are useful for measuring small plots of land or gardens.
