Key Stage 4
Meaning
Kilohertz (kHz) are a unit of frequency 1,000 times larger than the SI Unit; the Hertz.
About Kilohertz
- Kilohertz are shortened to kHz with a lower case k, an upper case H and a lower case z.
- Kilo means one thousand so there are 1,000 Hertzs in a kilohertz.
Converting to Kilohertz
| Unit | To convert | Kilohertz |
| 1 megahertz (1MHz) | Convert to kilohertz x103 | 1x103kHz |
| 1 kilohertz (1kHz) | Convert to kilohertz x1 | 1kHz |
| 1 Hertz (1Hz) | Convert to kilohertz x10-3 | 1x10-3kHz |
| 1 millihertz 1(mHz) | Convert to kilohertz x10-6 | 1x10-6kHz |
| 1 microhertz 1(µHz) | Convert to kilohertz x10-9 | 1x10-9kHz |
| 1 nanohertz 1(nHz) | Convert to kilohertz x10-12 | 1x10-12kHz |
