About Ohm-metres
The ohm-metre (Ω·m) is the SI coherent unit of electrical resistivity, equal to 1 V·m/A = 1 kg·m³·A⁻²·s⁻³. Seawater is ≈0.2 Ω·m; deionised water is ~18 MΩ·cm = 180 kΩ·m; silicon carbide ≈0.1-10 Ω·m; IEC 60287 specifies cable insulation resistivity in Ω·m. 1 Ω·m = 10² Ω·cm = 10⁶ µΩ·m.
About Abohm-centimetres
The abohm-centimetre (abΩ·cm) is the resistivity unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 10⁻⁹ Ω × 0.01 m = 10⁻¹¹ Ω·m. It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic analysis of telegraph cables and dynamo windings; silver, the best metallic conductor, has resistivity ≈1.59 nΩ·m = 159 abΩ·cm. 1 abΩ·cm = 10⁻¹¹ Ω·m.
