Understanding Ohms and Electrical Resistance

The ohm (Ω) is the standard SI unit for electrical resistance. It measures how much a material opposes the flow of electric current. One ohm represents the resistance between two points of a conductor when a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere.

Common Ohm Conversions

1 kilohm (kΩ) = 1,000 ohms (Ω)
1 megaohm (MΩ) = 1,000,000 ohms (Ω)
1 milliohm (mΩ) = 0.001 ohms (Ω)
1 microohm (µΩ) = 0.000001 ohms (Ω)

Applications

Ohm measurements are crucial in:

• Electronic component specifications
• Circuit design and analysis
• Power distribution systems
• Electrical safety testing
