Resistance Converter – 5 units of electrical resistance

Convert electrical resistance between kΩ, Ω, MΩ and more – exact and instant.

1 kΩ = 1,000 Ω

Formula: Ω = kΩ × 1,000

Common values

Ohm (Ω) 1,000 Ω
Kiloohm (kΩ) 1 kΩ
Megaohm (MΩ) 0.001 MΩ
Gigaohm (GΩ) 0.000001 GΩ

If you continue, the file is uploaded over an encrypted connection and converted on our server. You can keep using the site meanwhile. The original is deleted as soon as it is converted; the result is kept for 6 hours so you can download it, and you can delete it at any time. Files are never shared or used for anything else.

  4. 4 Open “In every unit” to see the value in all 5 units of electrical resistance.

About this tool

Electrical resistance is measured in ohms; resistors are marked in ohms, kiloohms and megaohms.

Here every value is converted through the ohm (Ω). Choose any two of the 5 units below the converter, or start from one of the popular conversions.

Frequently asked questions

Which units of electrical resistance can I convert?

Milliohm (mΩ), Ohm (Ω), Kiloohm (kΩ), Megaohm (MΩ) and Gigaohm (GΩ).

Which electrical resistance conversions are used most?

1 kΩ = 1,000 Ω; 1 MΩ = 1,000 kΩ.

How exact is the converter?

Each unit is defined by its official value in Ω, so conversions are exact up to the 10 significant digits shown; you can round to 0–6 decimals.
