Converting from Volt (V) to Gigavolt (GV) | Electric potential

What is Volt (V)

A Volt (V) is the standard unit used to measure electric potential difference. It represents the amount of potential energy present in an electric circuit per unit charge. It is commonly used in electrical engineering to quantify the difference in electric potential between two points.

What is Gigavolt (GV)

A Gigavolt (GV) is a unit of electric potential equal to one billion volts. It is a much larger unit compared to the volt, and is typically used in high-voltage scenarios such as in particle accelerators and high-power generation facilities.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Volt (V) to Gigavolt (GV) and vice versa, you can use the following formulas:

• To convert from V to GV: GV=V×0.000000001

• To convert from GV to V: V=GV×1000000000

Examples

1. Converting 10 Volts (V) to Gigavolts (GV):

10 V=10×0.000000001=0.00000001 GV

2. Converting 15 Gigavolts (GV) to Volts (V):

15 GV=15×1000000000=15000000000 V

3. Converting 6 Volts (V) to Gigavolts (GV):

6 V=6×0.000000001=0.000000006 GV
