How to Convert Electric Resistance Units
Electric resistance opposes the flow of current (R = V / I by Ohm's law). The SI unit is the ohm (Ω); insulation resistance tests read in megohms, while contact and cable resistance is measured in milliohms.
Every unit on this page is stored as a fixed factor relative to one reference unit, the ohm (Ω). Converting is a two step multiply and divide:
- Multiply your value by the factor of the source unit to get the value in Ω.
- Divide that result by the factor of the target unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SI unit of electric resistance?
The SI unit of electric resistance is the ohm (Ω). Electric resistance opposes the flow of current (R = V / I by Ohm's law).
How do I convert kΩ to ohm?
To convert kilohm (kΩ) to ohm (Ω), multiply the value in kΩ by 1,000. For example, 1 kΩ = 1,000 Ω.
How do I convert MΩ to kΩ?
To convert megohm (MΩ) to kilohm (kΩ), multiply the value in MΩ by 1,000. For example, 1 MΩ = 1,000 kΩ.
How do I convert ohm to kΩ?
To convert ohm (Ω) to kilohm (kΩ), multiply the value in ohm by 0.001. For example, 1 Ω = 0.001 kΩ.
Can I see a value in every electric resistance unit at once?
Yes. Enter a value and choose the source unit; the "all units" table below the converter instantly lists the equivalent in all 9 supported units. Click any row to make it the target unit.
