Frequently Asked Questions

What does the abohm centimeter measure?
It measures electrical resistivity using the cgs electromagnetic unit system, quantifying how strongly a material opposes electrical current.

Why convert abohm centimeters to ohm centimeters?
Conversion enables comparison of older resistivity data expressed in cgs units with contemporary measurements in widely used SI-based units.

Is abohm centimeter still used in modern measurements?
No, the abohm centimeter is largely obsolete and mainly appears in historical references; modern practice prefers ohm centimeters or SI units.

Key Terminology

Abohm centimeter
A cgs-EMU unit of electrical resistivity equal to one abohm times one centimetre, used historically to describe how much a material resists electric current.
Ohm centimeter
A unit of electrical resistivity representing resistance of a uniform 1 cm sample with 1 cm² cross-section, commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts.
Electrical Resistivity
A property indicating how strongly a material opposes the flow of electrical current.
