Convert Kilovolts to Abvolts
Convert Kilovolts (kV) to Abvolts (abV) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
abV = kV × 100000000000
About Kilovolts
The kilovolt (kV) equals 10³ V, used in high-voltage power supplies, X-ray machines, and electricity distribution. Dental and medical X-ray tubes operate at 60-120 kV; CRT television picture tubes required 20-30 kV for the final anode; distribution transformers step down from transmission lines at 11-33 kV to the local grid. Tesla coils generate sparks at tens to hundreds of kilovolts. 1 kV = 10³ V = 10⁻³ MV.
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.
