Abohm Converters

Convert abohms to ohms, nanoohms, milliohms and other electrical resistance units.

What this tool does

Convert abohms to ohms, nanoohms, milliohms and other electrical resistance units. Type an amount in abohms (EMU of resistance), choose the units, and the tool converts it to ohms. It offers 9 electrical resistance units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one from 9 options, including Abohm (EMU of resistance), Nanoohm, Microohm, Milliohm, Ohm, Kiloohm. Starts as Abohm (EMU of resistance).
  • To: Choose one of the same 9 units as "From". Starts as Ohm.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from abohms (EMU of resistance) to ohms:

  • 1 abΩ = 0.000000001 Ω
  • 5 abΩ = 0.000000005 Ω
  • 10 abΩ = 0.00000001 Ω
  • 50 abΩ = 0.00000005 Ω
  • 100 abΩ = 0.0000001 Ω

Multiply the number of abohms (EMU of resistance) by 0.000000001 to get ohms. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.000000001 is the exact factor: 1 abΩ = 0.000000001 Ω.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a resistance only. It does not work out resistance from voltage, current, length or material.
  • Abohm and statohm are historical CGS units, listed for completeness.

FAQs

Q: How do I convert abohms to other resistance units?
A: Type the value, pick abohm as the From unit and any other resistance unit as the To unit. The page also lists the same value in every other unit at once.
Q: What are abohms and statohms?
A: They are resistance units from the older CGS electromagnetic and electrostatic systems. One abohm is exactly 1 nanoohm (10⁻⁹ ohm). One statohm is about 8.99 × 10¹¹ ohms.
Q: Can I convert the other way?
A: Yes. Choose abohm as the To unit and any other resistance unit as the From unit.
