Volt (V)
Definition: The volt (symbol: V) is the SI derived unit of electric potential, electric potential difference (voltage), and electromotive force. It is defined as the electric potential between two points of a conducting wire when an electric current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power between those points.
History/origin: The unit is named in honor of the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745–1827), who invented the voltaic pile, the first chemical battery.
Current use: The volt is the universal standard for measuring electrical potential in household electronics, batteries, and power distribution systems worldwide.
Megavolt (MV)
Definition: A megavolt (symbol: MV) is a unit of electric potential equal to one million (1,000,000) volts.
History/origin: The megavolt was initially a theoretical unit until the development of massive particle accelerators and ultra-high-voltage laboratory equipment.
Current use: Megavolts are used to describe extremely high-energy events like lightning strikes, van de Graaff generators, and massive pulsed power research facilities.
Volt (V) to Megavolt (MV) Conversion Table
| Volt (V) [v] | Megavolt (MV) [mv2] |
|---|---|
| 0.01 v | 0.00000001 mv2 |
| 0.1 v | 0.0000001 mv2 |
| 1 v | 0.000001 mv2 |
| 2 v | 0.000002 mv2 |
| 3 v | 0.000003 mv2 |
| 5 v | 0.000005 mv2 |
| 10 v | 0.00001 mv2 |
| 20 v | 0.00002 mv2 |
| 50 v | 0.00005 mv2 |
| 100 v | 0.0001 mv2 |
| 1000 v | 0.001 mv2 |
How to Convert Volt (V) to Megavolt (MV)
1 v = 0.000001 mv2
1 mv2 = 1000000 v
Example: convert 15 v to mv2:
15 v = 15 × 0.000001 mv2 = 0.000015 mv2
Did You Know?
- Did you know? Different countries use different voltages! While most of the world (including Bangladesh and Europe) uses 220-240V, North America uses 110-120V for standard household outlets.
- A single lightning bolt can pack a massive electrical punch of up to 100 Megavolts (MV) to 1,000 Megavolts! That is enough energy to light up a small city for a short moment.
