absampere
n. C2 Proficiency ab·sam·pere
n. a very small unit used to measure electric current. It is part of the centimeter-gram-second system of units.
n. a unit of electric current in the centimeter-gram-second system, equal to one ampere divided by one hundred. It is the CGS equivalent of the ampere.
The scientist measured the current in absampere.
In older physics textbooks, the current through the wire is often expressed in absampere rather than modern units.
While the ampere is the standard SI unit for current, the absampere remains a historical reference point for researchers working with classical electromagnetism equations.
