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.

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.
