Understanding Kiloohms

What is a Kiloohm?

A kiloohm (kΩ) is a unit of electrical resistance equal to 1,000 ohms. It's commonly used in electronics when measuring components like resistors, potentiometers, and other circuit elements that have resistance values in the thousands of ohms.

Common Applications

  • Electronic component specifications
  • Circuit design and analysis
  • Resistance measurements in electronic testing
  • Power supply and LED current limiting resistors

Conversion Formula

1 kiloohm = 1,000 ohms
1 kiloohm = 0.001 megaohms
1 kiloohm = 1,000,000 milliohms
