Convert Picovolt to Femtovolt
Input the number of picovolts you want to convert to femtovolts.
How to Convert Picovolts to Femtovolts
The picovolt and femtovolt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 picovolt equals exactly 1000 femtovolts. This means to convert picovolts to femtovolts, you multiply by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pV to femtovolts:
We need to convert picovolts to femtovolts
Since 1 pV = 1000 fV, multiply by 1000
5 × 1000 = 5000
5 pV = 5000 fV

About These Units
Picovolt (pV)
A picovolt (pV) equals 10⁻¹² volts. Radio telescope receiver noise floor, quantum device measurements, and gravitational wave detector electronics operate at picovolt sensitivity. Thermal noise in a 1Ω resistor at room temperature: ~130 pV/√Hz.
Femtovolt (fV)
A femtovolt (fV) equals 10⁻¹⁵ volts. Theoretical limit of voltage measurement—quantum effects dominate. SQUID magnetometers approach femtovolt sensitivity. Single-electron effects in quantum dots produce femtovolt-scale signals. Beyond practical measurement for most applications.
