statohm

The unit of resistance, reactance, and impedance in the centimeter-gram-second electrostatic system of units. One statohm is the resistance between two points in a conductor when a constant potential difference of 1 statvolt applied between the points produces in the conductor a current of 1 statampere, the conductor not being the source of any electromotive force, approximately 8.9876 × 10¹¹ ohm. Symbol, statΩ.
