How to convert electric resistance units
Ohms, kilohms and megohms for resistors and circuits, plus CGS units. Every conversion goes through one base unit, the ohm, using exact factors, so results don’t drift.
Kilohms to ohms (kΩ to Ω)
To convert kilohms to ohms, multiply by 1,000. 1 kilohm = 1,000 ohms.
| kΩ | Ω |
|---|---|
| 1 kΩ | 1,000 Ω |
| 2 kΩ | 2,000 Ω |
| 5 kΩ | 5,000 Ω |
| 10 kΩ | 10,000 Ω |
| 20 kΩ | 20,000 Ω |
| 50 kΩ | 50,000 Ω |
| 100 kΩ | 100,000 Ω |
Ohms to kilohms (Ω to kΩ)
To convert ohms to kilohms, divide by 1,000. 1 ohm = 0.001 kilohms.
| Ω | kΩ |
|---|---|
| 1 Ω | 0.001 kΩ |
| 2 Ω | 0.002 kΩ |
| 5 Ω | 0.005 kΩ |
| 10 Ω | 0.01 kΩ |
| 20 Ω | 0.02 kΩ |
| 50 Ω | 0.05 kΩ |
| 100 Ω | 0.1 kΩ |
Megohms to kilohms (MΩ to kΩ)
To convert megohms to kilohms, multiply by 1,000. 1 megohm = 1,000 kilohms.
Kilohms to megohms (kΩ to MΩ)
To convert kilohms to megohms, divide by 1,000. 1 kilohm = 0.001 megohms.
