Key Terminology
-
Abohm centimeter
-
A cgs-EMU unit of electrical resistivity equal to one abohm times one centimetre, used in early experimental and theoretical works.
-
Microhm centimeter
-
A unit of electric resistivity equal to 1x10⁻⁶ ohm-centimeter, widely used to characterize materials' opposition to electrical current.
-
Electric Resistivity
-
A measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current through it.
