What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate electrical resistivity measurements from the CGS-EMU unit abohm centimeter to the CGS-ESU unit statohm centimeter. It helps bridge older data and theoretical work expressed in different CGS unit conventions.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value you want to convert in abohm centimeters.
  • Select the input unit as abohm centimeter and the output unit as statohm centimeter.
  • Obtain the converted value using the built-in conversion based on the precise conversion factor.
  • Use the result for analysis or comparison with data in the CGS-ESU system.

Key Features

  • Converts electric resistivity values between abohm centimeter and statohm centimeter units.
  • Supports legacy and historical data interpretation from CGS electromagnetic and electrostatic systems.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without special software.
  • Facilitates comparison of legacy resistivity measurements with modern systems.

Examples

  • 5 abohm centimeters convert to approximately 5.56326728e-21 statohm centimeters.
  • 0.1 abohm centimeter converts to about 1.112653456e-22 statohm centimeters.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting resistivity data from early 20th-century cgs-EMU literature to CGS-ESU units.
  • Translating legacy resistivity measurements of metals and alloys for modern comparison.
  • Performing theoretical or plasma physics calculations within specific CGS unit systems.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify the unit system context (CGS-EMU vs CGS-ESU) before converting.
  • Handle the very small conversion factor carefully to maintain numerical accuracy.
  • Use this converter primarily for legacy data or specific theory work involving CGS units.

Limitations

  • The conversion factor is extremely small, reflecting different measurement scales.
  • Both units are mostly replaced by SI units in modern practice.
  • Incorrect unit system assumptions may lead to misinterpretation of results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the conversion factor so small between abohm centimeter and statohm centimeter?
Because the abohm centimeter and statohm centimeter belong to different CGS subsystems, representing vastly different scales of electrical resistivity, the conversion factor reflects this difference.

When should I use abohm centimeter over statohm centimeter?
Abohm centimeter is commonly used in cgs-EMU based literature and early experimental papers, while statohm centimeter is preferred in cgs-ESU electromagnetic or plasma calculations.

Can I directly compare abohm centimeter values with SI units?
Direct comparison requires conversion since abohm centimeter is a cgs-EMU unit. This tool helps convert between CGS units and also facilitates conversion to SI units indirectly.

Key Terminology

Abohm centimeter
A CGS-EMU unit of electrical resistivity defined as one abohm times one centimetre, used in historical electromagnetic literature.
Statohm centimeter
A CGS-ESU unit of electrical resistivity representing resistance to current flow in the electrostatic unit system.
Electrical Resistivity
A measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current.
