One millivolt is equal to how many volts?

1 Answer

Jul 23, 2016

One millivolt is one thousandth of a volt; there are one thousand millivolts in one volt.

Explanation:

The prefix milli means $\times 10^{- 3}$ $× 10^(-3)$

So if we have 1 mV it means $1 \times 10^{- 3} V$ $1× 10^(-3)V$

$\Rightarrow 1 \times 10^{- 3} V = 0.001 V$ $⇒ 1× 10^(-3)V = 0.001V$

Or another way:
$1 \times 10^{- 3} V = \frac{1}{1000} V$ $1× 10^(-3)V = 1/1000V$

1 mV is one thousandth of a volt.
