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

| 1000 | 1,000,000 |
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 ohm is 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 Ω?
Multiply the quantity in kΩ by 1,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the ohm to kiloohm converter.
