Understanding Voltage Units
Voltage is a measure of electric potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit. Here are the common voltage units and their relationships:
| Unit | Symbol | Relationship to Volt |
|---|---|---|
| Nanovolt | nV | 1 nV = 0.000000001 V |
| Microvolt | µV | 1 µV = 0.000001 V |
| Millivolt | mV | 1 mV = 0.001 V |
| Volt | V | Base unit |
| Kilovolt | kV | 1 kV = 1,000 V |
| Megavolt | MV | 1 MV = 1,000,000 V |
Common Applications
- Household electricity: 110-240V AC
- Batteries: 1.5V (AA/AAA), 9V
- USB: 5V DC
- High-voltage power lines: 100-750kV
- Electronics: Often uses millivolts (mV) or microvolts (µV)
