von Klitzing constant

ID: von-klitzing-constant

The von Klitzing constant is . The current SI fixes the Planck constant and elementary charge exactly, so is exact; the displayed decimal is truncated. It differs from the historical conventional value .[ref]
As an original ideal example, and electric current give . Changing the Hall bar's width changes the transverse electric field required for this electric potential difference, while the ideal ratio remains .
