==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Kiloohms''' ('''kΩ''') are a [[unit]] of [[Electrical Current|current]] 1,000 times larger than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Ohm]].
===About Kiloohms===
: '''Kiloohms''' are shortened to '''kΩ''' with a lower case k and the Greek letter '''Ω''' (omega).
: [[Kilo]] means one thousand so there are 1,000 [[Ohm]]s in a [[kiloohm]].
===Converting to Kiloohms===
