What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert electric resistance values from statohm, the CGS-ESU system unit, to EMU of resistance (abohm), which is used in the CGS-EMU system. It assists with translating historical and theoretical electromagnetic resistance measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electric resistance value in statohm you want to convert.
  • Select statohm as the input unit and EMU of resistance as the output unit.
  • Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent resistance expressed in EMU of resistance.
  • Interpret or utilize the converted value for research, teaching, or analysis.

Key Features

  • Converts resistance values between statohm and EMU of resistance according to established CGS conventions.
  • Supports conversions rooted in historical and theoretical electromagnetism unit systems.
  • Accurately reflects the large conversion factor linking these two CGS subsystems.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring specialized software.

Examples

  • 2 Statohm equals 1797510400000000000000 EMU of resistance.
  • 0.5 Statohm equals 449377600000000000000 EMU of resistance.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting historical resistance data from the CGS-ESU system to the CGS-EMU system for comparison.
  • Interpreting classical electromagnetic research that utilizes statohm or EMU of resistance units.
  • Teaching differences between CGS-based electrical measurement systems and SI units.
  • Analyzing archival experimental data prior to widespread adoption of the SI ohm.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Carefully handle the very large conversion factor to avoid numerical errors.
  • Use the converter primarily for theoretical, historical, or educational purposes.
  • Verify unit selection to ensure accurate conversion between CGS-ESU and CGS-EMU units.
  • Reference SI ohms for modern practical measurements instead of these obsolete units.

Limitations

  • These units are outdated and have been replaced by the SI ohm in practical use.
  • The extremely large conversion factor can make calculations challenging without precise tools.
  • The statohm and EMU of resistance belong to different branches of the CGS system, restricting direct practical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a statohm?
A statohm is the unit of electrical resistance in the electrostatic (ESU) variant of the CGS system and is mainly used in historical or theoretical electromagnetism contexts.

What does EMU of resistance represent?
EMU of resistance, also known as abohm, is the electrical resistance unit in the electromagnetic CGS system, equivalent to one nanohm.

Why convert statohm to EMU of resistance?
Converting between statohm and EMU of resistance helps translate resistance measurements from one CGS subsystem to another, assisting theoretical work and interpretation of older electromagnetic literature.
