Convert Volts to Megavolts
Enter the number of volts that you want to convert to megavolts.
How to Convert Volts to Megavolts
The volt and megavolt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 megavolt equals exactly 1000000 volts. This means to convert volts to megavolts, you divide by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 V to megavolts:
We need to convert volts to megavolts
Since 1 MV = 1000000 V, divide by 1000000
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6
5 V = 5e-6 MV

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).
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.
