What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform electrical resistance measurements from volt/ampere (V/A), an SI derived unit equivalent to the ohm, into abohm, a CGS electromagnetic unit used in specialized scientific contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electrical resistance value in volt/ampere (V/A).
  • Select volt/ampere [V/A] as the input unit.
  • Choose abohm as the output unit for conversion.
  • Click convert to see the resistance value in abohm.
  • Use the converted result for comparison or historical data interpretation.

Key Features

  • Converts volt/ampere (V/A) values to abohm accurately based on standardized conversion rates.
  • Supports electrical resistance unit conversion between SI and CGS electromagnetic subsystems.
  • Provides easy access to translate very small electrical resistance values for specialized applications.
  • Includes example conversions for quick reference.
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installation.

Examples

  • Converting 2 V/A results in 2,000,000,000 abohm.
  • Converting 0.5 V/A yields 500,000,000 abohm.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying resistance of electrical components and circuit impedance in electrical engineering.
  • Interpreting and converting resistance values from electromagnetic CGS literature.
  • Applying Ohm's law in circuit analysis involving different unit systems.
  • Calibrating and testing ultra-low resistance components using precise unit conversions.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify unit definitions when converting between SI and CGS to ensure correct interpretation.
  • Use this conversion for small resistance values where abohm is applicable, especially in historical or research contexts.
  • Double-check conversion results when dealing with extremely low resistance to avoid scale errors.
  • Understand the context of measurement to select the appropriate unit system for analysis.

Limitations

  • The abohm is seldom used in modern electrical measurements and mainly appears in historical/scientific references.
  • Differences in precision and scale between SI and CGS units require careful handling to prevent errors.
  • This converter is not intended for general electrical resistance measurements outside specialized contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the volt/ampere (V/A) unit?
Volt/ampere (V/A) is the SI derived unit of electrical resistance, equivalent to one ohm, representing the potential difference needed for one ampere current.

What does the abohm measure?
The abohm is a CGS electromagnetic unit of electrical resistance equal to one nanohm (10⁻⁹ ohm) in SI units.

When should I convert V/A to abohm?
Conversion is useful when interpreting historical electromagnetic data or comparing very small resistances in specialized scientific research.

Key Terminology

Volt/ampere [V/A]
An SI derived unit of electrical resistance equal to one ohm, indicating the voltage required for one ampere of current.
Abohm
A CGS electromagnetic unit of electrical resistance equal to 10⁻⁹ ohm, used for measuring extremely small resistances.
Ohm (Ω)
