Convert Microvolts to Abvolts
Convert Microvolts (µV) to Abvolts (abV) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
abV = µV × 100
About Microvolts
The microvolt (µV) equals 10⁻⁶ V, the scale of bioelectric signals and precision sensor outputs. EEG electroencephalography records brain-wave amplitudes of 10-100 µV; a standard thermocouple junction generates 5-40 µV/°C depending on type; Wheatstone-bridge strain-gauge outputs under load are typically 1-100 µV/V excitation. Instrumentation amplifiers with sub-microvolt offset are used in ECG front-ends. 1 µV = 10⁻³ mV = 10³ nV.
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.
