Voltage, also known as electric potential difference, is the work needed per unit of electric charge to move a test charge between two points. Measured in Volts (V), one volt is defined as the potential difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power.
Everyday electronics and electrical engineering span vast voltage scales: AA/AAA batteries produce 1.5 V; smartphone USB chargers deliver 5 V to 20 V; automotive lead-acid batteries run at 12 V; residential outlets provide 120 V (North America) or 230 V (Europe, Asia, Australia); high-voltage regional power distribution lines carry 11 kV to 765 kV.
Metric prefix multipliers make voltage conversions straightforward: 1 Kilovolt (kV) = 1,000 Volts (V). 1 Volt (V) = 1,000 Millivolts (mV). 1 Millivolt (mV) = 1,000 Microvolts (µV). To convert down (e.g., kV to V), multiply by 1,000. To convert up (e.g., mV to V), divide by 1,000.
There are exactly 1,000 millivolts in 1 volt. For example, 3.3 volts = 3,300 millivolts.
There are exactly 1,000 volts in 1 kilovolt. A 11 kV power line carries 11,000 volts.
To convert millivolts (mV) to volts (V), divide the millivolt value by 1,000. For instance, 250 mV ÷ 1,000 = 0.25 V.
In electrical circuits, Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts) × Current (Amperes). This fundamental relationship is known as Watt's Law (P = V × I).
