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.

Microhm

μΩ

Definition

A unit of electrical resistance equal to one millionth of an ohm (10^-6 Ω). Used for measuring very low resistances in conductors and electrical connections.

History/Origin

Part of the metric system with the micro- prefix, representing 10^-6. Essential for precise measurements of conductor resistance and electrical contact resistance.

Current Use

Used in precision electrical measurements, conductor resistance testing, and measuring very low resistances in electrical connections and components.
