Voltage Conversion

Voltage, also known as electric pressure or electric tension, is the difference in electric potential between two points. It corresponds to the work needed per unit of charge to move a test charge between the two points.

Voltage Units Explained

  • Volt (V): The SI derived unit of electric potential, electric potential difference, and electromotive force.
  • Millivolt (mV): Equal to 1/1000th of a volt.
  • Microvolt (μV): Equal to 1/1,000,000th of a volt. Used in sensitive electronics (like ECG signals).
  • Kilovolt (kV): Equal to 1,000 volts. Used in power transmission lines.

[!TIP]
Fun Fact: You can generate over 10,000 volts just by walking across a carpet and touching a doorknob! The static shock hurts a little, but it’s safe because the current (amps) is incredibly tiny and the duration is short.
