Convert Abvolt to Megavolt

Convert abvolts to megavolts by entering a value below.

1 abV (abvolts) = 1e-14 MV (megavolts)

How to Convert Abvolts to Megavolts

The abvolt and megavolt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 megavolt equals exactly 1e14 abvolts. This means to convert abvolts to megavolts, you divide by 1e14.

Formula

megavolts = abvolts ÷ 1e14

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 abV to megavolts:

1
Convert 5 abV to megavolts

We need to convert abvolts to megavolts

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 MV = 1e14 abV, divide by 1e14

5 ÷ 1e14 = 5e-14

Answer

5 abV = 5e-14 MV

About These Units

Abvolt (abV)

The abvolt (abV) is the CGS electromagnetic unit of voltage equal to 10⁻⁸ volts or 10 nanovolts. One volt = 10⁸ abvolts exactly. Defined so that 1 erg of work moves 1 abcoulomb through 1 abvolt. Found in older electromagnetic theory texts. Impractically small.

Megavolt (MV)

A megavolt (MV) equals 1,000,000 volts. Lightning strikes: 100-300 MV. Van de Graaff generators: 5-25 MV. Particle accelerators: linear accelerators produce MV gradients. X-ray machines for cargo inspection: 1-10 MV. Extreme voltage requiring massive insulation.
