abvolts
n. C2 Proficiency ab·volts
n. a very small unit used to measure electric potential. It is much smaller than the volts you see on your phone or car battery.
n. a unit of electric potential in the centimetre-gram-second system of units. One abvolt is equal to 100 nanovolts.
The scientist measured the tiny voltage in abvolts.
In the early days of electromagnetism, researchers often recorded their findings in abvolts before the standard volt was widely adopted.
While the volt is the standard SI unit, the abvolt remains a historical reference point in certain specialized calculations involving electromagnetic induction and centimetre-gram-second units.
