Convert Picovolts to Abvolts
Convert Picovolts (pV) to Abvolts (abV) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
abV = pV × 1.000000000e-4
About Picovolts
The picovolt (pV) equals 10⁻¹² V, the realm of precision metrology and quantum voltage standards. The Josephson voltage standard used by national metrology institutes (NIST, PTB, NPL) reproduces the volt to within 0.01 pV using Cooper-pair tunnelling arrays driven by microwave radiation. Thermocouple noise in cryogenic circuits is also measured in picovolts. 1 pV = 10⁻00b3 nV = 10³ fV.
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.
