Kiloohm (kΩ)
Definition: A kiloohm (symbol: kΩ) equals one thousand ohms (10³ Ω). A common unit for resistor values in electronic circuits.
History: Derived from the ohm with metric prefix 'kilo-'. Gained prominence with the standardization of electronic components in the mid-20th century.
Current use: Typical range for pull-up/down resistors, sensor circuits, and audio equipment. Common in PCB design and consumer electronics.
Megaohm (MΩ)
Definition: A megaohm (symbol: MΩ) equals one million ohms (10⁶ Ω). Used for high-resistance measurements.
History: Became important with the development of insulation materials and high-impedance circuits in the 20th century.
Current use: Used to measure insulation resistance (megger tests), vacuum tube circuits, and the input impedance of precision voltmeters.
