What Is This Tool?

This tool converts electrical resistance measurements from volt/ampere (V/A), the SI derived unit equivalent to ohms, into statohm, the CGS-ESU system's unit of resistance mainly used in theoretical and historical electromagnetism contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the resistance value in volt/ampere (V/A) units
  • Select the target unit as statohm
  • Click convert to get the corresponding value in statohm
  • Use the results for comparison or research purposes involving CGS-ESU units

Key Features

  • Converts between V/A (ohm) and statohm units of electrical resistance
  • Handles conversions based on precise conversion rates linking SI and CGS-ESU systems
  • Useful for comparing modern resistance measurements with historical or theoretical data
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring downloads
  • Supports academic and research applications involving classical electromagnetism units

Examples

  • Convert 1 V/A to statohm to get 1.11265002973e-12 statohm
  • Convert 10 V/A to statohm to obtain 1.11265002973e-11 statohm

Common Use Cases

  • Relating modern electrical resistance values to those in historical CGS-ESU units
  • Understanding classical electromagnetic papers that utilize statohm units
  • Teaching or studying differences between SI and CGS formulations of electrical resistance

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure unit selections are correct before performing conversions
  • Use this tool primarily for theoretical, historical, or academic contexts
  • Complement conversion results with knowledge of unit system differences
  • Check source data for unit consistency to avoid misinterpretation
  • Remember statohm is obsolete for practical electrical measurements

Limitations

  • The statohm unit is not used for practical electrical measurements today
  • The very small conversion factor reflects differing scales between unit systems
  • Direct application of statohm values is limited outside theoretical or historical studies

Frequently Asked Questions

What is volt per ampere (V/A)?
Volt per ampere (V/A) is the SI derived unit of electrical resistance equivalent to ohms, representing the voltage needed to drive one ampere of current.

What is statohm used for?
Statohm is a CGS-ESU unit of electrical resistance mainly found in theoretical or historical electromagnetism research and classical scientific literature.

Why convert from V/A to statohm?
Conversion assists in comparing modern SI measurements with classical CGS-ESU units used historically in electromagnetism studies and theoretical physics.

Key Terminology

Volt/Ampere (V/A)
