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.

ESU of Resistance

ESU

Definition

Electrostatic Unit of resistance in the CGS system. Equivalent to one statohm, representing approximately 8.987552 × 10^11 ohms in the SI system.

History/Origin

Part of the CGS electrostatic unit system developed alongside electromagnetic units. ESU units were commonly used in early electrical and electromagnetic research.

Current Use

Primarily used in theoretical physics, electromagnetic research, and some specialized applications where the CGS electrostatic system is preferred over SI units.
