How to convert volts to millivolts

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

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 Millivolts to other unit conversions.

Step by step guide to convert volts to millivolts

Shorthand (abbreviation) form

1\ V = 10^{3}\ mV = 1000\ mV

Longhand form

1\ volt = 10^{3}\ Millivolts = 1000\ Millivolts

What is Volt?

The Volt (abbr. $V$ ) is the unit of measure for electrical potential. It is defined as the potential difference between two points when an electric current of $1\ A$ (ampere) dissipate 1 $W$ (Watt) of $P$ (power).

V = \frac{J}{C} = \frac{kg*m^2*s^{-2}}{A*s}

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

V=A*\Omega = I*R = \frac{Wb}{s} = \frac{W}{A} = \frac{J}{C}

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}
