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 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.
