Conversion Formula
mV = MV × 1000000000
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.
About Millivolts
The millivolt (mV) equals 10⁻³ V, the everyday scale of biomedical and electrochemical measurements. ECG R-wave peaks are 0.5-3 mV; a silicon p-n junction has a forward voltage of about 600 mV; pH electrodes produce roughly 59.2 mV per pH unit (Nernst equation at 25 °C); lithium-ion cells have an end-of-discharge cutoff at 2 700-3 000 mV. 1 mV = 10⁻³ V = 10³ µV.
