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.



Arpent


An arpent is a traditional French unit of land area and length, still used in some regions like Louisiana and parts of Canada.



  • As an area, 1 arpent ≈ 0.85 acres ≈ 3,420 square meters.



  • As a length, 1 arpent ≈ 192 feet (about 58.47 meters).



Arpents were commonly used in colonial land surveying and property descriptions, especially in French-influenced areas.
