Millivolts (mV) and volts (V) are units of measurement used to quantify electrical potential difference or voltage.
Volts (V) are the standard unit of electrical potential difference in the International System of Units (SI). One volt is defined as the potential difference between two points in a conductor when one joule of energy is used to move one coulomb of charge from one point to the other.
In simpler terms, voltage measures the “pressure” or “force” that pushes electric charges through a circuit. For example, the voltage supplied by a battery determines how strongly electric charges will flow through a circuit.
Millivolts (mV) are a subunit of volts. One millivolt is equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a volt. This unit is often used when dealing with small voltage differences or when measuring low-level electrical signals. For example, the signals generated by sensors or measuring equipment are often in the millivolt range.
1 V = 103 mV = 1000 mV
or
1 mV = 10-3 V = 0.001 V
V(V) = V(mV) / 1000
Example – Convert 100 millivolts to volts
Ans. V(V) = 100 / 1000 = 0.1 V
| Millivolts (mV) | Volts (V) |
| 0 mV | 0 V |
| 1 mV | 0.001 V |
| 10 mV | 0.01 V |
| 100 mV | 0.1 V |
| 1000 mV | 1 V |
There are 0.001 volts (V) in 1 millivolt (mV). In other words, 1 mV is equal to 0.001 V.
1 millivolt (mV) is equivalent to 0.001 volts (V). It represents a small unit of electrical potential difference.
200 millivolts (mV) is equal to 0.2 volts (V). To convert millivolts to volts, divide the value by 1000.
Converting 760 millivolts (mV) to volts (V) yields 0.76 volts. You can achieve this by dividing 760 by 1000.
When converting 5 millivolts (mV) to volts (V), you get 0.005 volts. Divide 5 by 1000 to make this conversion.
Kilovolts (kV) are larger than millivolts (mV). 1 kilovolt is equivalent to 1,000 volts, whereas 1 millivolt is just 0.001 volts. The k in kilovolts denotes a factor of a thousand, making it a higher unit of measurement compared to millivolts.
