How to convert electric resistance

All 13 electric resistance units are converted through a single base unit, so any unit can be converted to any other. Enter a value, choose the units and press Convert, or open a conversion page for the exact factor and a reference table.

For example, 1 ohms (Ω) = 1,000 milliohms (mΩ).

Electric Resistance unit definitions

Ohms (Ω)
The ohm is the SI unit of electrical resistance: one volt across a component drives one ampere through it, following Ohm's law, R = V ÷ I.
Milliohms (mΩ)
A milliohm is one thousandth of an ohm, the range of wires, connectors and battery internal resistance.
Kilohms (kΩ)
A kilohm is 1,000 ohms, the most common range for resistors in electronic circuits.
Megohms (MΩ)
A megohm is one million ohms, used for insulation resistance and very high-value resistors.
