Convert Megohm to Abohm
Type the number of megohms that you wish to convert to abohms.
How to Convert Megohms to Abohms
The megohm and abohm are both units of electrical resistance. By definition, 1 megohm equals exactly 1e15 abohms. This means to convert megohms to abohms, you multiply by 1e15.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MΩ to abohms:
We need to convert megohms to abohms
Since 1 MΩ = 1e15 abΩ, multiply by 1e15
5 × 1e15 = 5e15
5 MΩ = 5e15 abΩ

About These Units
Megohm (MΩ)
A megohm (MΩ) equals 1,000,000 ohms or 1,000 kilohms. Used for insulation resistance testing (should be >1 MΩ), high-impedance circuits, input resistance of oscilloscopes (1-10 MΩ), and anti-static resistors.
Abohm (abΩ)
The abohm (abΩ) is the CGS electromagnetic unit of resistance equal to 10⁻⁹ ohms or 1 nanoohm. One ohm = 10⁹ abohms. Found in older physics literature. Defined so that the EMF induced in a circuit changing flux at 1 Mx/s with 1 abohm produces 1 abampere.
