Convert ohms, milliohms, kilohms, megohms and gigohms.
Resistance
The unit of electrical resistance is the ohm (Ω). By Ohm’s law, R = U / I: 1 Ω lets 1 A flow at 1 V. Conversions: 1 kΩ = 1,000 Ω, 1 MΩ = 1,000 kΩ, 1 GΩ = 1,000 MΩ and 1 Ω = 1,000 mΩ. In electronics, resistor values are usually in Ω, kΩ and MΩ.
Conversion factors
1 Ω = 0.001 kΩ
