Abohm

abΩ

Definition

A unit of electrical resistance in the CGS electromagnetic system. One abohm equals 10^-9 ohms, making it a very small unit of electrical resistance.

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 resistances are measured.
