Millivolt [mV] to Volt [V] Converter
How to Convert Millivolt to Volt
1 mV = 0.001 V
1 V = 1000 mV
Example: convert 10 mV to V:
10 mV = 10 x 0.001 = 0.01 V
Millivolt
Definition: A millivolt (mV) is a unit of electric potential equal to one thousandth (10⁻³) of a volt. It is a subunit of the base unit, the volt, in the International System of Units (SI).
History/origin: The volt is named in honor of Italian physicist Alessandro Volta. The millivolt, as a decimal multiple of the volt, was naturally derived as a smaller, more convenient unit for measuring smaller voltages.
Current use: Millivolts are used to measure small voltages in applications such as sensors, biomedical devices, thermocouples, and precision electronic circuits. It's a practical unit for measuring tiny changes in potential.
Volt
Definition: The volt (V) is the derived unit of electric potential, electric potential difference (voltage), and electromotive force in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the potential difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power.
History/origin: The volt is named in honor of Italian physicist Alessandro Volta, inventor of the voltaic pile, the first chemical battery. The unit was established by the International Electrical Congress in 1881.
Current use: Volts are used universally to measure electrical potential difference in circuits, power systems, and electronic devices. It is a fundamental unit for specifying the voltage of power supplies, batteries, and electrical components.
