## What is Electrical Resistance Conversion?

Electrical resistance conversion involves changing measurements of opposition to current flow between different units. Resistance, measured in ohms, is fundamental to circuit design and electrical safety. Our converter handles everything from low-resistance conductors to high-resistance insulators.

units.ts

// Common Resistance Units Explained

export const Ohm (Ω)

// The SI unit of electrical resistance. Named after Georg Ohm. A conductor has 1Ω resistance when 1V causes 1A to flow.

export const Kilohm (kΩ)

// One thousand ohms. Common in electronic circuits. Typical resistors range from ohms to megaohms.

export const Megaohm (MΩ)

// One million ohms. Used for high-resistance measurements like insulation testing.

When to Use This Converter

Our resistance converter is valuable for electronics engineers designing circuits, electricians testing insulation, technicians troubleshooting, and students learning Ohm Law.

## Frequently Asked Questions

01 ### Q: What is Ohm Law?

/**

V = I × R. Voltage equals current times resistance. Rearranged: I = V/R or R = V/I. This is the foundation of electrical engineering.

02 ### Q: What determines wire resistance?

/**

Resistance = (Resistivity × Length) / Area. Longer wires have more resistance; thicker wires have less. Copper has very low resistivity.
