Megavolts (MV) and volts (V) are units of measurement used to quantify electrical potential difference or voltage. Voltage refers to the amount of electric potential energy between two points in an electrical circuit. Here’s what each unit means:
The volt (symbol: V) is the standard unit of measurement for electric potential difference or voltage in the International System of Units (SI). One volt is defined as the potential difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere flows through it, dissipating one watt of power. In simpler terms, volts represent the force or pressure that drives electric charges (electrons) to move through a circuit.
Megavolts (symbol: MV) are a larger unit of measurement for voltage, where one megavolt is equal to one million volts. It is often used when dealing with high-voltage systems, such as in power transmission, industrial equipment, and certain scientific applications.
1 MV = 106 V = 1000000 V
or
1 V = 10-6 MV = 0.000001 MV
V(V) = V(MV) × 1000000
Example – Convert 3 megavolts to volts
Ans. V(V) = 3MV × 1000000 = 3000000 V
| Megavolts (MV) | Volts (V) |
| 0 MV | 0 V |
| 0.000001 MV | 1 V |
| 0.00001 MV | 10 V |
| 0.0001 MV | 100 V |
| 0.001 MV | 1000 V |
| 0.01 MV | 10000 V |
| 0.1 MV | 100000 V |
| 1 MV | 1000000 V |
1 megavolt (MV) is equal to 1 million volts (1,000,000 volts).
1 millivolt (mV) is equal to 0.001 volts. This means that there are 1000 millivolts in 1 volt.
1 volt is equal to 1000 millivolts (mV).
1 millivolt (mV) is a unit of electrical potential difference. It is equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a volt. It's commonly used for measuring small electrical signals.
1 millivolt (mV) is a unit of voltage, not power. Power is measured in watts (W), not millivolts.
