Convert Nanovolt to Megavolt
Type the number of nanovolts that you wish to convert to megavolts.
How to Convert Nanovolts to Megavolts
The nanovolt and megavolt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 megavolt equals exactly 1e15 nanovolts. This means to convert nanovolts to megavolts, you divide by 1e15.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 nV to megavolts:
We need to convert nanovolts to megavolts
Since 1 MV = 1e15 nV, divide by 1e15
5 ÷ 1e15 = 5e-15
5 nV = 5e-15 MV

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.
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.
