Abvolt

abV

Definition

A unit of electric potential in the CGS electromagnetic system. One abvolt equals 10^-8 volts, making it a very small unit of electric potential.

History/Origin

Part of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) electromagnetic system developed in the 19th century. The prefix "ab" indicates electromagnetic units in the CGS system.

Current Use

Still used in some specialized physics applications, particularly in electromagnetic theory and certain areas of plasma physics where very small potential differences are measured.
