abohm
n. C2 Proficiency abohm
n. a very small unit used to measure electrical resistance. It is one billionth of an ohm and is rarely used today.
n. a unit of electrical resistance equal to one billionth of an ohm. Primarily used in historical or highly specialized contexts.
The resistor had a value of one abohm.
In early twentieth-century physics, researchers used the abohm to describe the resistance of extremely thin wires.
While the ohm remains the standard unit for resistance, the abohm was occasionally employed in theoretical calculations involving superconductors or quantum-scale phenomena.
