What Is This Tool?

This converter allows users to convert electrical resistance values from EMU of resistance, the cgs electromagnetic unit also known as abohm, to megohms, a modern SI unit used for measuring high resistance. It helps translate historical or theoretical resistance values into practical units for engineering and scientific use.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the resistance value in EMU of resistance units
  • Select EMU of resistance as the input unit and megohm as the output unit
  • Click convert to get the corresponding value in megohms
  • Use the result for comparison or engineering calculations

Key Features

  • Converts EMU of resistance (abohm) values to megohms with ease
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface
  • Supports translation of legacy CGS-EMU data to SI units
  • Useful for high resistance measurement applications and archival data interpretation

Examples

  • 5 EMU of resistance = 5 × 1e-15 = 5e-15 megohm
  • 1,000 EMU of resistance = 1,000 × 1e-15 = 1e-12 megohm

Common Use Cases

  • Converting resistance values from older CGS–EMU literature to SI ohms
  • Performing electromagnetic theoretical calculations in the CGS system
  • Analyzing historical experimental data published before widespread SI adoption
  • Testing insulation resistance in cables, motors, and transformers using megohm units
  • Specifying leakage or dielectric resistance in materials and capacitors
  • Defining high-value resistor parameters and input impedance for high-impedance instruments

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure input values are accurate and based on reliable historical or experimental sources
  • Use this conversion to compare legacy resistance data with modern measurements
  • Account for the extremely small conversion factor when working with EMU of resistance
  • Be mindful of the precision limits due to the large difference in unit scales

Limitations

  • Due to the large difference in scale, converted values are extremely small and require high precision
  • Historical data may have precision or measurement condition issues limiting conversion accuracy
  • The EMU of resistance unit is very small (nanohm scale) whereas megohms are very large resistance units
