abmho
n. C2 Proficiency abmho
n. a very large unit of electrical resistance. It is the opposite of the ohm and is used for measuring how much a material resists the flow of electricity.
n. a unit of electrical resistance equal to one billion ohms. It is the reciprocal of the siemens and is used to describe extremely high resistance values.
The resistor had a value of one abmho.
In high-voltage power transmission, engineers must account for the abmho of resistance to ensure minimal energy loss over long distances.
The theoretical calculation of the material's resistance reached into the abmho range, indicating that it was nearly an insulator at the temperatures tested.
