This page converts volts into microvolts using the factor 1,000,000, and shows the reverse figure alongside it. Both units measure the electrical potential difference driving a current, which is why one number does the whole job.
One micro volt is one millionth of a volt (1e-6 volts). The volt is the SI unit of electric potential: one joule of energy per coulomb of charge moved.
The tables underneath give both a plain step-by-step lookup and a list of real quantities expressed in microvolts, so you can sanity-check whether your answer is a plausible size.
The formula
volts- The amount you are converting, in volts
1,000,000- The exact number of microvolts in one volt
microvolts- The converted result
How it works, step by step
- Enter the value in volts.
- It is multiplied by 1,000,000, the exact factor between the two units.
- The answer is shown in microvolts, with the reverse conversion beneath it.
- Check the reference table if you want a figure of comparable size.
Worked examples
Car battery: 12.6 V in microvolts
At 12.6 V (car battery), the same quantity in microvolts is 12.6 × 1e+06 = 1.26e+07 µV. One volt is 1e+06 microvolts, so the numbers grow as expected.
US mains: 120 V in microvolts
Take us mains, roughly 120 V. The conversion is a single multiplication — 120 × 1e+06 — giving 1.2e+08 µV. Because the relationship is proportional, doubling the input doubles the answer to 2.4e+08 µV.
How to read your score
Frequently asked questions
How many microvolts are in one volt?
Exactly 1,000,000. Every figure on this page is that one number multiplied by your input, so the only rounding is at the display step.
What is the formula to convert volts to microvolts?
microvolts = volts × 1,000,000. Reversed, volts = microvolts ÷ 1,000,000, which is the same as multiplying by 1e-06.
Which is the bigger unit, the volt or the microvolt?
The volt. One volt equals 1e+06 microvolts.
What does this quantity actually measure?
Both units measure the electrical potential difference driving a current. That is why a single factor is enough: there is no temperature offset and no material property involved, unlike conversions that cross between different quantities.
What is a volt?
The volt is the SI unit of electric potential: one joule of energy per coulomb of charge moved.
What is a microvolt?
One micro volt is one millionth of a volt (1e-6 volts).
Why does my answer differ from another converter?
Almost always because the other tool rounded the factor before multiplying. This page keeps full double precision through the calculation and rounds only for display, and it prints the factor it used so you can see where any difference came from.
