What does ABOHM mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalobsolete
An obsolete unit of electrical resistance in the older centimetre-gram-second system, equal to one billionth of an ohm.
The abohm, like the abmho, belonged to the CGS electromagnetic system that physicists used before the modern SI units of electricity became standard. It measured how strongly a material resisted the flow of electric current, and it is the reciprocal of the abmho, which measured conductance instead. Because the abohm is such a tiny fraction of a modern ohm, it now appears mainly in historical physics writing and in specialised word lists rather than in everyday scientific work.
How ABOHM is used
