How to Convert Volts to Picovolts
The volt and picovolt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 volt equals exactly 1e12 picovolts. This means to convert volts to picovolts, you multiply by 1e12.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 V to picovolts:
We need to convert volts to picovolts
Since 1 V = 1e12 pV, multiply by 1e12
5 × 1e12 = 5e12
5 V = 5e12 pV

About These Units
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).
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.
