Volt to Megavolt Calculator
Convert voltage in volts to megavolts.
How to Convert Volts to Megavolts
To convert volts to megavolts, you divide the number of volts by 1,000,000 (since 1 megavolt equals 1 million volts).
Formula
MV = V ÷ 1,000,000
MV = Voltage in megavolts
V = Voltage in volts
Quick Trick: 1 Megavolt = 1,000,000 Volts!
Example
Starting Point:
- 🔍 We measured: 2,500,000 Volts
Solution Steps:
1️⃣ Take our formula: MV = V ÷ 1,000,000
2️⃣ Put in 2,500,000 Volts
3️⃣ MV = 2,500,000 ÷ 1,000,000
🎉 Answer: 2.5 MV
What Do These Terms Really Mean?
Megavolt (MV) - A Large Measure of Voltage
A megavolt (MV) is a unit of voltage equivalent to one million volts:
- Commonly used in high-voltage applications
- Essential for power transmission over long distances
Volt (V) - The Basic Unit of Voltage
Volts are a standard unit of electrical potential:
- Used to measure electrical potential difference
- 1 Volt is the potential difference that will move 1 Ampere of current against 1 Ohm of resistance
