A unit of electrical power equal to one ten-millionth of a watt, used in scientific measurements.
Formed from the prefix 'ab-' (meaning 'from' or 'away from') combined with 'watt,' the standard unit of power named after James Watt; used in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) electromagnetic system.
The 'abwatt' is part of a forgotten measurement system called CGS that scientists almost used instead of the metric system we know today—it's like a ghost unit from an alternate physics timeline!
