Milliohms to Ohms Calculator
Convert resistance from Milliohms (mΩ) to Ohms (Ω)
How to Convert Milliohms to Ohms
One milliohm equals 0.001 ohms (1 thousandth of an ohm), so you multiply the number of milliohms by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000) to get ohms. For more information on electrical resistance, you can refer to the Britannica page on Ohm.
Milliohms to Ohms Formula
Quick Trick: To convert milliohms to ohms, multiply by 10-3!
Understand the Conversion
The formula to convert milliohms to ohms is:
Ω = mΩ × 10-3
Where:
- Ω is the resistance in ohms
- mΩ is the resistance in milliohms
To convert milliohms to ohms, simply multiply the value in milliohms by 10-3.
Example
Imagine you have the following measurement:
- Resistance entered: 2500 mΩ
Here’s how we figure it out:
Applying Formula:
Formula: Resistance (Ω) = mΩ × 10-3
Calculation: 2500 mΩ × 10-3 = 2.5 Ω
Answer: 2.5 ohms
What Do These Terms Really Mean?
Milliohm (mΩ) – A Unit of Resistance
Milliohms are a standard unit of resistance used to measure small resistances. One milliohm is one-thousandth of an ohm.
Ohm (Ω) – A Unit of Resistance
Ohms are a standard unit of resistance used to measure electrical resistance. One ohm is the resistance that allows one ampere of current to flow with one volt of electrical potential.
