Convert Millivolts to Microvolts
Convert Millivolts (mV) to Microvolts (µV) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µV = mV × 1000
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.
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.
