Ampere per Volt

A/V

Definition

An alternative unit of electric conductance equal to one siemens, representing the ratio of current to voltage. Used in electrical engineering to express conductance in terms of basic electrical quantities.

History/Origin

Derived from Ohm's law, where conductance is the inverse of resistance. The ampere per volt unit directly expresses conductance as the ratio of current to voltage, making it intuitive for electrical calculations.

Current Use

Used in electrical engineering education and calculations where conductance is expressed in terms of current and voltage. Common in circuit analysis and electrical engineering textbooks.

Abmho

ab℧

Definition

A very large unit of electric conductance in the CGS electromagnetic system equal to one billion siemens. Used for measuring extremely high conductance values in specialized electrical applications.

History/Origin

Part of the CGS electromagnetic system of units, where "ab" stands for "absolute." The abmho was used in early electrical measurements before the adoption of the SI system for very high conductance values.

Current Use

Used in specialized scientific research and some technical applications for measuring extremely high conductance values. Still referenced in some physics and electrical engineering literature.
