    Is their an imperial equivalent to ohm?

    It might be the case that imperial resistance is ohm the same as metric. Metric uses ohm as it’s constituent with base units of metric, but imperial doesn’t abide by rules like that.

    If you had to make a imperial equivalent to resistance, it would be a fraction of the resistance of the monarchs finger.

      There’s no non metric electrical units except ohms/1000 ft or cross section dimensions, and AWG (and MCM kilo circular mils kcmils) versus mm^2

      Why US uses awg with reverse scale instead of diameter is insane

      formula: D(AWG) = 0.005·92^((36-AWG)/39) inch
