Convert Megohm to Reciprocal Siemens
Type the number of megohms that you wish to convert to reciprocal siemens.
How to Convert Megohms to Reciprocal Siemens
The megohm and reciprocal siemens are both units of electrical resistance. By definition, 1 megohm equals exactly 1000000 reciprocal siemens. This means to convert megohms to reciprocal siemens, you multiply by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MΩ to reciprocal siemens:
We need to convert megohms to reciprocal siemens
Since 1 MΩ = 1000000 1/S, multiply by 1000000
5 × 1000000 = 5000000
5 MΩ = 5000000 1/S

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.
Reciprocal Siemens (1/S)
The ohm is the reciprocal of the siemens (S), the unit of conductance. Resistance R = 1/G where G is conductance. A 1 kΩ resistor has conductance of 0.001 S = 1 mS. Siemens was formerly called "mho" (ohm spelled backward). R(Ω) = 1/G(S).
