Converting from Gigaohm (GΩ) to Megaohm (MΩ)

What is Gigaohm (GΩ)

• The Gigaohm (GΩ) is a unit of electrical resistance representing one billion ohms. It is commonly used for measuring very high resistance values in electrical circuits.

What is Megaohm (MΩ)

• The Megaohm (MΩ) is a unit of electrical resistance equal to one million ohms. It is often used to measure moderate resistance values in electronic components and devices.

Conversion Formulas

• The conversion between Gigaohm (GΩ) and Megaohm (MΩ) can be expressed as:

  • 1(GΩ)=1000(MΩ)

  • 1(MΩ)=0.001(GΩ)

Examples

• For instance, to convert 4 Gigaohms (GΩ) to Megaohms (MΩ):

4(GΩ)=4×1000=4000(MΩ)

• Conversely, converting 8 Megaohms (MΩ) to Gigaohms (GΩ):

8(MΩ)=8×0.001=0.008(GΩ)

• Similarly, if you have 5 Gigaohms (GΩ), the equivalent in Megaohms (MΩ) would be 5000.
