kiloohm to deciohm
Convert kiloohm (kΩ) to deciohm (dΩ). Use an editable electrical resistance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 kΩ = 10,000 dΩ
Conversion formula
One kiloohm equals 10,000 deciohm. Multiply your value in kiloohm by this factor to get deciohm. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 kiloohm:5 × 10,000 = 50,000 dΩ

About these measurements
Resistance relates voltage to current for a given element.
The base reference used here is the ohm. One kiloohm is 1,000 base units; one deciohm is 0.1 base units.
Important distinctions
Resistance and impedance are not the same physical quantity.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert kΩ to dΩ?
Multiply the quantity in kΩ by 10,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the deciohm to kiloohm converter.
