How to use it
- Type a number. A dot or a comma works as the decimal separator.
- Choose the unit you have and the unit you need. The ⇄ button swaps them.
- The table below shows the same value in all common units at once.
Conversion factors
Every unit is converted through the ohm (Ω).
| Unit | Value |
|---|---|
| 1 milliohm (mΩ) | 0.001 Ω |
| 1 kilohm (kΩ) | 1,000 Ω |
| 1 megohm (MΩ) | 1,000,000 Ω |
| 1 gigohm (GΩ) | 10⁹ Ω |
| 1 abohm | 10⁻⁹ Ω |
| 1 statohm | ≈ 8.98755 × 10¹¹ Ω |
Worked example
A resistor marked 4.7 kΩ is 4.7 × 1,000 = 4,700 Ω. An insulation reading of 250 MΩ is 0.25 GΩ.
Quick reference
- 1 MΩ = 1,000 kΩ = 1,000,000 Ω
- Resistors in series add; in parallel the reciprocals add
- R = V / I
