An abohm is the electrical resistance unit in the electromagnetic system of CGS units, equal to one nanohm (10⁻⁹ ohm) in the SI system.

Why convert abohm to ohm?

Converting abohm to ohm allows users to translate very small resistance values from electromagnetic CGS units into the more widely used SI units for practical application and comparison.

Can I use this conversion for everyday electronic circuits?

Due to the abohm’s tiny magnitude, this conversion is mainly useful for scientific or historical contexts rather than typical electronic circuit measurements.
