gigaohms
Billion-level electrical resistance
Gigaohms is a unit of electrical resistance equal to one billion ohms.
The prefix giga- multiplies the base unit by 10⁹.
Measurements in gigaohms typically describe extremely high resistances found in insulation testing or sensitive electronic components: The meter reads in megaohms and gigaohms.
