Definition:Abvolt

Definition

The abvolt is the CGS unrationalised electromagnetic unit of electromotive force and electric potential.

It is defined as being:

The electric potential which will drive $1$ abampere of electric current through a resistance of $1$ abohm.

Due to the organization of pages at $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$, this argument is circular. In particular: Abohms are defined in terms of abvolts and abamperes You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by resolving this issue.

Symbol

$\mathrm {abV}$

The symbol for the abvolt is $\mathrm {abV}$.

Its $\LaTeX$ code is \mathrm {abV} .

Also known as

The abvolt is also known as the electromagnetic unit of potential, abbreviated $\mathrm {e.m.u.}$.

Source of Name

This entry was named for Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta.

Linguistic Note

The word abvolt is a shortened form of absolute volt, as evolved from its original full name absolute electromagnetic cgs unit of potential.
