abohms

n.
C2 Proficiency abohms

n. a very small unit used to measure how much electricity flows through a material. It is one billionth of an ohm.

n. a unit of electrical resistance equal to one billionth of an ohm. Used primarily in the measurement of extremely low resistance values in superconductors or high-precision electronics.


SIMPLE

The scientist measured the resistance in abohms.

CONTEXTUAL

Researchers used abohms to detect the slightest changes in the superconducting material as it cooled.

COMPLEX

In high-precision metrology, the abohm allows for the measurement of resistance at levels where even a micro-ohm would be considered significant in industrial applications.
