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.



Homestead


A homestead traditionally refers to a parcel of land granted or owned, often for farming or settlement purposes. In the U.S. context, under laws like the Homestead Act, a typical homestead was:



  • 160 acres (about 65 hectares) of public land granted to settlers.



  • Used to encourage settlement and cultivation.



Today, the term can also mean a family’s residence and surrounding land, especially a farm or ranch.
