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.

Reciprocal Siemens

1/S

Definition

A unit of electrical resistance equal to one ohm. Represents the reciprocal of electrical conductance (siemens), since resistance is the inverse of conductance.

History/Origin

This unit arises from the relationship between resistance and conductance, where resistance equals the reciprocal of conductance (R = 1/G). The siemens is the SI unit of conductance.

Current Use

Used in electrical engineering when working with conductance measurements and understanding the inverse relationship between resistance and conductance in electrical circuits.
