Statohm

stΩ

Definition

A unit of electrical resistance in the CGS electrostatic system. One statohm equals approximately 8.987552 × 10^11 ohms, making it a very large unit of electrical resistance.

History/Origin

Part of the CGS electrostatic unit system, where the prefix "stat" indicates electrostatic units. The value is related to the speed of light in vacuum and the permittivity of free space.

Current Use

Used in some areas of physics, particularly in electromagnetic theory, plasma physics, and certain research applications where the CGS system is preferred.
