Convert Megavolt to Abvolt
Type the number of megavolts that you wish to convert to abvolts.
How to Convert Megavolts to Abvolts
The megavolt and abvolt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 megavolt equals exactly 1e14 abvolts. This means to convert megavolts to abvolts, you multiply by 1e14.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MV to abvolts:
We need to convert megavolts to abvolts
Since 1 MV = 1e14 abV, multiply by 1e14
5 × 1e14 = 5e14
5 MV = 5e14 abV

About These Units
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.
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.
