Wikipedia

  1. Abohm

    The abohm is the derived unit of electrical resistance in the emu-cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system of units (emu stands for "electromagnetic units"). One abohm corresponds to 10−9 ohms in the SI system of units, which is a nanoohm. The emu-cgs (or "electromagnetic cgs") units are one of several systems of electromagnetic units within the centimetre gram second system of units; others include esu-cgs, Gaussian units, and Heaviside–Lorentz units. In these other systems, the abohm is not one of the units. When a current of one abampere (1 abA) flows through a resistance of 1 abohm, the resulting potential difference across the component is one abvolt (1 abV). The name abohm was introduced by Kennelly in 1903 as a short name for the long name (absolute) electromagnetic cgs unit of resistance that was in use since the adoption of the cgs system in 1875. The abohm was coherent with the emu-cgs system, in contrast to the ohm, the practical unit of resistance that had been adopted too in 1875.

  1. abohm

    Abohm is a unit of electrical resistance in the centimeter-gram-second (cgs) system of units, which is a predecessor of the modern metric system. It is equivalent to one billionth (1×10−9) of the unit of resistance in the International System of Units (SI), the ohm.
