Method and calculation
Convert electrical resistance through the ohm: value × source factor / target factor. Factors relative to ohm: Ω = 1; mΩ = 0.001; µΩ = 0.000001; kΩ = 1000; MΩ = 1000000; GΩ = 1000000000.
Inputs and settings
Electrical Resistance Converter accepts Value (minimum 0); From unit (Ω, mΩ, µΩ, kΩ, MΩ, GΩ); To unit (Ω, mΩ, µΩ, kΩ, MΩ, GΩ).
Worked example
Electrical Resistance Converter example — Value: 1; From unit: "Ω"; To unit: "mΩ". Computed output: { "value": 1000, "unit": "mΩ", "baseValue": 1, "baseUnit": "ohm" }
Output and limitations
Resistance relates a component’s voltage drop to current under the applicable operating conditions. Ohm prefixes distinguish milliohm shunts from megohm insulation measurements. Conductance is the reciprocal quantity, and impedance may require a complex number rather than a single resistance.
