How Do You Convert Ohms to Kilohms?

By Staff WriterLast Updated December 10, 2023

Ohms, which measure electrical resistance, can be converted to kiloohms by multiplying by 1,000. One ohms is equal to .001 kiloohm, while 1 kiloohm is equal to 1,000 ohms.

As a measurement unit, an ohm is represented in calculations by the Greek letter omega. To calculate how many ohms of resistance are present in a circuit, the number of volts are divided by the amount of amps present: R = V/I. In practical applications, ohms can be measured by commercially available voltmeters and multimeters.
