The conversion between volts and millivolts is a basic unit conversion in electronics and electrical engineering. Millivolts are commonly used when measuring small voltage differences.
The calculator uses the simple conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: There are 1000 millivolts in 1 volt, making this a straightforward multiplication.
Details: Accurate voltage conversion is essential in electronics design, circuit analysis, and when working with sensors that output small voltage signals.
Tips: Enter the voltage value in volts. The calculator will automatically convert it to millivolts. Both positive and negative values can be converted.
Q1: Why convert volts to millivolts?
A: Millivolts are more practical when working with small voltages commonly found in sensor outputs or biological signals.
Q2: What is the difference between V and mV?
A: 1 volt equals 1000 millivolts. The millivolt is a smaller unit better suited for precise measurements.
Q3: Can I convert millivolts back to volts?
A: Yes, simply divide the millivolt value by 1000 to get volts.
Q4: What are typical millivolt ranges?
A: Many sensors output in the 0-100mV range. EEG signals are typically 0.1-1mV, while ECG signals are 1-5mV.
Q5: How precise is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact. Precision depends on your input measurement accuracy.
