Conversion Formula
abΩ = kΩ × 1000000000000
About Kilohms
The kilohm (kΩ) equals 10³ Ω, covering the most common range of discrete resistors in electronics. Pull-up and pull-down resistors are typically 1-10 kΩ; potentiometer tracks run 1-100 kΩ; input-bias resistors in transistor amplifiers and voltage-divider networks are almost always in the kilohm range. 1 kΩ = 10³ Ω = 10⁻³ MΩ.
About Abohms
The abohm (abΩ) is the resistance unit of the CGS-EMU system, defined as 1 abvolt per abampere = 10⁻⁸ V / 10 A = 10⁻⁹ Ω, exactly equal to 1 nΩ. It appears in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century electromagnetic engineering texts for low-resistance measurements of copper conductors, motor windings, and cable joints. 1 abΩ = 10⁻⁹ Ω = 1 nΩ.
