Electric Potential Formulas
Volts to Millivolts
mV = V × 1000
Example: 5 V = 5 × 1000 = 5000 mV
Kilovolts to Volts
V = kV × 1000
Example: 2.5 kV = 2.5 × 1000 = 2500 V
Microvolts to Volts
V = μV ÷ 1,000,000
Example: 500 μV = 500 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.0005 V
Megavolts to Kilovolts
kV = MV × 1000
Example: 0.1 MV = 0.1 × 1000 = 100 kV

What is Electric Potential?
Electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field. Our electric potential converter helps you easily convert between different voltage units like volts, kilovolts, millivolts, and microvolts.
The volt (V) is the standard unit for measuring electric potential. When you use a voltage converter, you're converting between different scales of this same measurement. For example, 1 kilovolt equals 1,000 volts, while 1 millivolt equals 0.001 volts.
Understanding electric potential is important in many fields. Engineers use voltage calculators daily to design circuits. Electricians need to know voltage levels for safety. Students learning about electricity benefit from using an electric potential calculator to practice conversions and understand the relationships between different units.

Understanding Voltage Units
The volt is named after Alessandro Volta, who invented the first battery. When using a voltage converter, you work with different scales of volts. Each unit represents a different magnitude of electric potential.
Large Units
Megavolt (MV): Used for very high voltage applications like lightning or particle accelerators
Kilovolt (kV): Common in power transmission and distribution systems
Small Units
Millivolt (mV): Used in electronic circuits and sensor measurements
Microvolt (μV): Important for very sensitive measurements and biological signals
