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.
