Conversion Formula

TV = GV × 0.001

About Gigavolts

The gigavolt (GV) equals 10⁹ V, arising in extreme natural phenomena and in theoretical particle-physics contexts. Ball lightning and superbolts - the most energetic lightning events - are estimated to involve potentials approaching 1 GV; pulsed-power generators like the Sandia Z Machine produce multi-GV transients for fusion research; the electrostatic potential of a highly charged Van Allen belt particle can be expressed in gigavolts. 1 GV = 10⁹ V = 10⁻³ TV.

About Teravolts

The teravolt (TV) equals 10¹² V, far beyond any engineered device and encountered only in astrophysical contexts. The interstellar medium near magnetar-class neutron stars and in active galactic nuclei jets can sustain electric field regions with potential differences estimated at teravolt scales; cosmic-ray particles with energies of 10¹⁶-10²° eV correspond to equivalent accelerating voltages of teravolts to exavolts. 1 TV = 10¹² V = 10⁻³ PV.
