Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of electric current in a conductor. The unit of resistance is the ohm (Ω).

Units and Conversion

• Ohm (Ω): The base unit of resistance.
• Milliohm (mΩ): 1 mΩ = 0.001 Ω
• Microohm (µΩ): 1 µΩ = 1 × 10^-6 Ω
• Nanoohm (nΩ): 1 nΩ = 1 × 10^-9 Ω
• Kiloohm (kΩ): 1 kΩ = 1,000 Ω
• Megaohm (MΩ): 1 MΩ = 1,000,000 Ω
• Gigaohm (GΩ): 1 GΩ = 1,000,000,000 Ω
• Abohm (abΩ): 1 abΩ = 1 × 10^-9 Ω
• Statohm (statΩ): 1 statΩ = 8.9875 × 10^-9 Ω

Examples

Example 1: Convert 2 kΩ to Ω:

2 kΩ = 2 × 1,000 Ω = 2,000 Ω

Example 2: Convert 5 × 10^6 Ω to MΩ:

5 × 10^6 Ω = 5 MΩ
