Convert Nanovolt to Volt

Type the number of nanovolts that you wish to convert to volts.

1 nV (nanovolts) = 1e-9 V (volts)

How to Convert Nanovolts to Volts

The nanovolt and volt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 volt equals exactly 1000000000 nanovolts. This means to convert nanovolts to volts, you divide by 1000000000.

Formula

volts = nanovolts ÷ 1000000000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 nV to volts:

1
Convert 5 nV to volts

We need to convert nanovolts to volts

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 V = 1000000000 nV, divide by 1000000000

5 ÷ 1000000000 = 5e-9

Answer

5 nV = 5e-9 V

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.

Volt (V)

The volt (V) is the SI unit of electric potential, voltage, and electromotive force (EMF). One volt drives one ampere through one ohm (V = I × R). Named after Alessandro Volta. Common voltages: USB 5V, car battery 12V, US outlet 120V, EU outlet 230V, EV battery 400-800V. Formula: V = W/A (watts per ampere).
