Gigaohm Converters

Convert gigaohms to megaohms, kiloohms, ohms and other electrical resistance units.

What this tool does

Convert gigaohms to megaohms, kiloohms, ohms and other electrical resistance units. Type an amount in gigaohms, choose the units, and the tool converts it to megaohms. It offers 9 electrical resistance units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one from 9 options, including Abohm (EMU of resistance), Nanoohm, Microohm, Milliohm, Ohm, Kiloohm. Starts as Gigaohm.
  • To: Choose one of the same 9 units as "From". Starts as Megaohm.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from gigaohms to megaohms:

  • 1 GΩ = 1,000 MΩ
  • 5 GΩ = 5,000 MΩ
  • 10 GΩ = 10,000 MΩ
  • 50 GΩ = 50,000 MΩ
  • 100 GΩ = 100,000 MΩ

Multiply the number of gigaohms by 1,000 to get megaohms. Both units are exact definitions, so 1,000 is the exact factor: 1 GΩ = 1,000 MΩ.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a resistance only. It does not work out resistance from voltage, current, length or material.
  • Abohm and statohm are historical CGS units, listed for completeness.

FAQs

Q: How do I convert gigaohms to other resistance units?
A: Type the value, pick gigaohm as the From unit and any other resistance unit as the To unit. The page also lists the same value in every other unit at once.
Q: What are abohms and statohms?
A: They are resistance units from the older CGS electromagnetic and electrostatic systems. One abohm is exactly 1 nanoohm (10⁻⁹ ohm). One statohm is about 8.99 × 10¹¹ ohms.
Q: Can I convert the other way?
A: Yes. Choose gigaohm as the To unit and any other resistance unit as the From unit.
