noun
- Plural of abohm; a unit of electrical resistance equal to one billionth of an ohm, used in electromagnetic systems.
Usage: technical; physics; rarely used in modern practice; largely replaced by standard SI units
Examples
- The resistance was measured in abohms for the specialized electromagnetic experiment.
- Early electrical engineers sometimes expressed very small resistances in abohms.
- The circuit's minimal resistance was quantified in abohms during the laboratory test.
