Frequency and RPM Relationship

Frequency (Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz) and RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) are related, with the RPM being proportional to the frequency. To convert from frequency units to RPM, the following formula applies:

Frequency (Hz):

Frequency is the number of cycles per second. 1 Hz = 1 cycle per second. kHz, MHz, and GHz are derived units representing thousands, millions, and billions of Hertz, respectively.

RPM (Rotational Speed):

RPM represents the number of complete rotations or cycles per minute. The RPM is directly proportional to the frequency (in Hz), and the formula to convert frequency to RPM is:

RPM = Frequency (Hz) × 60

Conversion Example

If the frequency is 1 kHz (1000 Hz), the RPM would be:

RPM = 1000 Hz × 60 = 60000 RPM
