megohms

Million-ohm resistance units

Megohms is the plural of megohm, a unit of electrical resistance equal to one million ohms.

The prefix mega- indicates a factor of a million, so a megohm measures very high resistance—the kind found in insulators or precision electronics: The multimeter showed a reading of several megohms.
