How to convert millivolts to volts

1 millivolts (mV) is equal to 1000 volts (V). Conversely, 1 volts (V) is equal to 1×10^-3 millivolts (mV).

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Volts to other unit conversions.

Step by step guide to convert millivolts to volts

Shorthand (abbreviation) form

1\ mV = 10^{-3}\ V = 0.001\ V

Longhand form

1\ Millivolts = 10^{-3}\ Volts = 0.001\ Volts

Please see the conversion table below for $Millivolts$ to other measurement conversions.

What is a Millivolt?

The Millivolt (abbr. $mV$ ) or $10^{-3} V$ is the unit of measure for electrical potential. Millivolt is defined as the potential difference between two points when an electric current of $1\ mA$ (ampere) dissipate 1 $W$ (Watt) of $P$ (power).

mV = \frac{1}{1000} * \frac{J}{C} = \frac{1}{1000} * \frac{kg*m^2*s^{-2}}{A*s}

Using Ohm's law, $1\ Volt$ can be defined as

mV=mA*\Omega = \frac{1}{1000} * I*R = \frac{1}{1000} *\frac{Wb}{s} = \frac{W}{mA} = \frac{1}{1000} * \frac{J}{C}
