Abvolt
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox". The abvolt (abV) is the unit of potential difference in the CGS-EMU system of units. It corresponds to Script error: No such module "val". in the SI system and 1/cScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".cgs statvolt ≈ Script error: No such module "val". in the CGS-ESU system.Template:Refn
A potential difference of 1 abV will drive a current of one abampere through a resistance of one abohm.
In most practical applications, the volt and its multiples are preferred. The national standard in the United States [1] deprecates the use of the abvolt, suggesting the use of volts instead.
The name abvolt was introduced by Kennelly in 1903 as a short name for the long name (absolute) electromagnetic cgs unit of e.m.f. that was in use since the adoption of the cgs system in 1875.[2] The abvolt was coherent with the CGS-EMU system, in contrast to the volt, the practical unit of e.m.f. that had been adopted too in 1875.
