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.

Quantized Hall Resistance

Rₖ

Definition

A fundamental constant of nature equal to h/e² ≈ 25,812.8056 ohms, where h is the Planck constant and e is the elementary charge. Used in the quantum Hall effect.

History/Origin

Discovered in the quantum Hall effect by Klaus von Klitzing in 1980. This resistance value is a fundamental constant that appears in quantum mechanics and is used for precision resistance standards.

Current Use

Used as a precision resistance standard in metrology and quantum physics. Essential for high-precision electrical measurements and quantum resistance standards.
