Converting from Gigaohm (GΩ) to Ohm (Ω) | Electrical Resistance

What is Gigaohm (GΩ)

Gigaohm (GΩ) is a unit of measurement used to quantify electrical resistance. It represents one billion ohms, denoted by the symbol GΩ. This unit is commonly used in applications where extremely high resistance values are encountered.

What is Ohm (Ω)

Ohm (Ω) is the standard unit of measurement for electrical resistance. It represents the resistance that will allow one ampere of current to flow when one volt of electric potential is applied. The symbol for ohm is Ω, named after the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Gigaohm and Ohm can be calculated using the following formulas:

1 GΩ=1,000,000,000 Ω

1 Ω=0.000000001 GΩ

Examples

• 5 GΩ = 5,000,000,000 Ω
• 5 Ω = 0.000000005 GΩ
• 6 GΩ = 6,000,000,000 Ω
• 6 Ω = 0.000000006 GΩ
• 13 GΩ = 13,000,000,000 Ω
• 13 Ω = 0.000000013 GΩ
