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.

Watt per Ampere

W/A

Definition

A derived unit of electric potential equal to one volt. Represents the ratio of power (watt) to current (ampere), which by definition equals one volt.

History/Origin

This unit arises from the fundamental relationship between power, voltage, and current in electrical circuits (P = V × I). It provides an alternative way to express voltage using basic electrical quantities.

Current Use

Used in electrical engineering when analyzing power systems and circuit relationships. Helpful for understanding the fundamental connection between voltage, current, and power in electrical circuits.
