Convert Abvolts to Megavolts
Convert Abvolts (abV) to Megavolts (MV) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MV = abV × 1.000000000e-14
About Abvolts
The abvolt (abV) equals exactly 10⁻⁸ V - the electric potential unit of the CGS-EMU (electromagnetic) system, defined as 1 erg per abcoulomb (= 10⁻⁷ J / 10 C). One abvolt per centimetre is the corresponding electric field unit (abV/cm). The abvolt appears in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century electromagnetic engineering texts and in nuclear physics tables where CGS-EMU units are retained. 1 abV = 10⁻⁸ V = 10 nV.
About Megavolts
The megavolt (MV) equals 10⁶ V, the scale of lightning and particle accelerator potentials. A typical cloud-to-ground lightning channel has a potential difference of 100-300 MV between cloud and ground; Van de Graaff generators in tandem accelerators reach 10-25 MV; ultra-high-voltage direct-current (UHVDC) transmission lines operate at 0.8-1.1 MV to carry bulk power thousands of kilometres with low losses. 1 MV = 10⁶ V = 10⁻³ GV.
