About Statvolts
The statvolt (statV) is the electric potential unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, equal to 1 erg/statC = c × 10⁻⁶ V = 299.792 458 V (exact, where c = 299 792 458 m/s). In Gaussian CGS the electric field is measured in statV/cm, and Coulomb's law is written without ε₀. The statvolt appears in electrostatics and atomic-physics textbooks and in calculations involving the fine-structure constant. 1 statV ≈ 299.8 V.
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.
