About Converting Gigaohms to Petaohms
Gigaohm and Petaohm both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Gigaohm is 1000000000 ohm units, and petaohm is 1000000000000000 ohm units.
Formula
petaohms = gigaohms × 0.000001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gigaohm equals 1000000000 base units, and 1 petaohm equals 1e+15 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gigaohm-to-petaohm factor of 0.000001.
Simple example
1 GOhm × 0.000001 = 0.000001 POhm
1 gigaohm = 0.000001 petaohms.
Real-world example
120 GOhm × 0.000001 = 0.00012 POhm
120 gigaohms = 0.00012 petaohms.

Reverse conversion: Petaohm to Gigaohm
0.000001 POhm × 1000000 = 1 GOhm
0.000001 petaohms = 1 gigaohm.
gigaohms = petaohms × 1000000

Frequently asked questions
How many petaohms are in 1 gigaohm?
1 gigaohm equals 0.000001 petaohms, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gigaohm to petaohm?
Multiply the gigaohm value by 0.000001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert petaohm back to gigaohm?
Use the reverse factor: 1 petaohm equals 1,000,000 gigaohms. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a gigaohm?
Gigaohm (GOhm) is a unit of electricity.
What is a petaohm?
Petaohm (POhm) is a unit of electricity.
Is the gigaohm to petaohm conversion exact?
Yes. Both gigaohm and petaohm are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000001 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
