Abohm Centimeter

abΩ·cm

Definition

An extremely small unit of electric resistivity in the CGS electromagnetic system equal to 1.0E-11 ohm meters. Used for measuring ultra-low resistivity materials in specialized scientific and engineering applications.

History/Origin

Part of the CGS electromagnetic system of units, where "ab" stands for "absolute." The abohm centimeter was used in early electrical measurements before the adoption of the SI system for precise resistivity characterization.

Current Use

Used in specialized scientific research, particularly in physics and materials science for measuring ultra-low resistivity materials. Still referenced in some technical literature and historical measurements.
