Convert Nanovolts to Megavolts
Convert Nanovolts (nV) to Megavolts (MV) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MV = nV × 1.000000000e-15
About Nanovolts
The nanovolt (nV) equals 10⁻⁹ V, the sensitivity scale of precision nanovoltmeters and cryogenic measurement chains. Type K thermocouples generate about 40 µV/°C, but at cryogenic temperatures the Seebeck coefficient drops to nanvolts per kelvin; lock-in amplifiers in MEMS research resolve signals of 1-10 nV. A modern 8.5-digit benchtop multimeter (e.g. Agilent 34420A) has a nanovolt resolution range. 1 nV = 10⁻00b3 µV = 10³ pV.
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.
