How to Convert Volts to Millivolts

1 volt (V) = 1,000 millivolts (mV), so multiply volts by 1,000 to convert to millivolts.

Formula

mV = V ร— 1000
mV = Voltage in millivolts
V = Voltage in volts

Quick Trick: 1 Volt = 1000 Millivolts!

Example

Imagine you have a voltage measurement:

  • We measured: 5 Volts

Here’s how we figure it out:

1. Take our formula: mV = V ร— 1000

2. Put in 5 Volts

3. mV = 5 ร— 1000

Answer: 5000 mV

What Do These Terms Really Mean?

Millivolt (mV) – A Small Measure of Voltage

A millivolt (mV) is a unit of voltage equivalent to one-thousandth of a volt:

  • Commonly used in electronics and electrical measurements.
  • Useful for measuring small voltages in circuits.
Volt (V) – The Basic Unit of Voltage

Volts are a standard unit of electrical potential. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Used to measure electrical potential difference.
  • 1 Volt is the potential difference that will move 1 Ampere of current against 1 Ohm of resistance.
