Conversion Formula
MΩ = kΩ × 0.001
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 Megaohms
The megaohm (MΩ) equals 10⁶ Ω, the scale of insulation testing and high-impedance analogue circuit design. Insulation testers (meggers) measure cable and motor winding insulation from 0.1-1000 MΩ; pH electrode output impedance is 10-500 MΩ; precision op-amp feedback networks use 1-10 MΩ resistors to set very high signal-source impedance. 1 MΩ = 10⁶ Ω = 10³ kΩ.
