What does ABMHO mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalobsolete
An obsolete unit of electrical conductance in the older centimetre-gram-second system, equal to one hundred million siemens.
The abmho belonged to the CGS electromagnetic system of units used in physics before the International System of Units, or SI, became the standard. It measured how easily a material allowed electric current to flow, the opposite of resistance, and its huge value compared to the modern siemens reflects the very different base units of the CGS system. Today the abmho survives mainly in older textbooks, historical physics references and word lists rather than in current scientific practice.
