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.

Volt per Ampere

V/A

Definition

A derived unit of electrical resistance equal to one ohm. Represents the ratio of voltage to current, which by Ohm's law equals resistance.

History/Origin

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

Current Use

Used in electrical engineering when analyzing circuit relationships and understanding the fundamental connection between voltage, current, and resistance in electrical circuits.
