Convert kiloohms to ohms.
Kiloohm (kΩ) to Ohm (Ω) Conversion
👋 Welcome to the kΩ to Ω Conversion tool! This calculator helps you convert resistance from kiloohms to ohms. 🚀
Conversion Formula 🔄
The relationship between kiloohms and ohms can be expressed as:
Ω = kΩ × 1000Where:
- Ω = Ohms
- kΩ = Kiloohms
Example Calculation
If you have a resistance of 5 kΩ, the calculation would be:
Ω = 5 kΩ × 1000 = 5000 ΩUnderstanding kΩ and Ω 🧠
What is a Kiloohm (kΩ)?
A kiloohm (kΩ) is a unit of electrical resistance equal to 1,000 ohms. It is commonly used in electronics to describe the resistance of components.
What is an Ohm (Ω)?
An ohm (Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance. It is defined as the resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt applied to the conductor produces a current of one ampere.
Why Convert kΩ to Ω?
Converting kiloohms to ohms is useful for understanding the resistance values of electronic components, especially in circuit design and analysis.

FAQs
Kiloohms (kΩ) and Ohms (Ω) are units of electrical resistance. The prefix ‘kilo’ means 1000, so:
This relationship is similar to other metric prefixes like kilometers to meters.
To convert from Kiloohms to Ohms:
For example:
- 2.2 kΩ = 2,200 Ω
- 4.7 kΩ = 4,700 Ω
- 10 kΩ = 10,000 Ω
To convert from Ohms to Kiloohms:
Kiloohms are typically used when:
- Working with larger resistance values (1,000 Ω or more)
- Reading electronic component specifications
- Designing circuits with high-value resistors
- Measuring insulation resistance
Using kΩ makes large values more manageable and reduces the chance of errors when working with many zeros.
Common resistor values are often expressed in kΩ:
- A “4.7k” resistor = 4.7 kΩ = 4,700 Ω
- A “10k” resistor = 10 kΩ = 10,000 Ω
- A “100k” resistor = 100 kΩ = 100,000 Ω
This notation is commonly used in circuit diagrams and component specifications.
When using Ohm’s Law (V = IR), ensure your resistance units are consistent:
Remember to convert kΩ to Ω before calculating, or adjust your final answer accordingly.
