Kiloohm to Ohm (kΩ to Ω)
Convert kΩ to Ω — Electric Resistance converter
Also written as kohm to ohm.
One kiloohm equals 1000 Ω, so to convert kiloohms to ohms you multiply the value by 1000. A kiloohm is larger than a ohm — going the other way, 1 Ω = 0.001 kΩ. For example, 10 kΩ = 10000 Ω and 50 kΩ = 50000 Ω.
1 kΩ = 1000 Ω
Kiloohm to Ohm formula
1 Kiloohm = 1000 Ω
Worked examples
- 25 kΩ = 25000 Ω
- 100 kΩ = 100000 Ω

Resistor notation and where each scale is used
Resistor values are usually written without a decimal point, because decimal points disappear on smudged schematics and photocopies. BS 1852 notation puts the multiplier where the point would go: 4R7 is 4.7 Ω, 4K7 is 4.7 kΩ, and 4M7 is 4.7 MΩ. A value written plainly as "4.7" with no unit is ambiguous and worth checking.
The scale is decimal throughout: 1 MΩ = 1,000 kΩ = 1,000,000 Ω, and 1 Ω = 1,000 mΩ = 1,000,000 µΩ. On this page, 1 kΩ = 1000 Ω.
