Convert Nanovolt to Abvolt
Input the number of nanovolts you want to convert to abvolts.
How to Convert Nanovolts to Abvolts
The nanovolt and abvolt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 abvolt equals exactly 10 nanovolts. This means to convert nanovolts to abvolts, you divide by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 nV to abvolts:
We need to convert nanovolts to abvolts
Since 1 abV = 10 nV, divide by 10
5 ÷ 10 = 0.5
5 nV = 0.5 abV

About These Units
Nanovolt (nV)
A nanovolt (nV) equals 10⁻⁹ volts. Measures extremely small signals: SQUID magnetometer outputs, Johnson-Nyquist thermal noise (4 nV/√Hz per kΩ at 300K), precision voltage references. Low-noise amplifier specifications often cite nV/√Hz noise density.
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.
