Ohm

Definition

The ohm is the SI derived unit of electrical resistance, impedance, and reactance. It is defined as the resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere.

History/Origin

Named after German physicist Georg Simon Ohm (1789-1854), who formulated Ohm's law. The ohm was officially adopted as the unit of electrical resistance in 1881 at the International Congress of Electricians.

Current Use

Widely used in electrical engineering, electronics, and physics. Essential for measuring resistance in circuits, components, and electrical systems. Standard unit in all electrical calculations and measurements.

EMU of Resistance

EMU

Definition

Electromagnetic Unit of resistance in the CGS system. Equivalent to one abohm, representing 10^-9 ohms in the SI system.

History/Origin

Part of the CGS electromagnetic unit system developed in the 1800s. EMU units were widely used before the adoption of the SI system in electrical engineering and physics.

Current Use

Primarily used in historical contexts and some specialized physics applications. Occasionally referenced in electromagnetic theory and certain research areas.
