Electric Potential Converter

The converter anchors every unit to the volt and rescales your entered value through that common base for any pair of units selected. Metric multiples such as kilovolt, megavolt, millivolt, microvolt, and nanovolt each follow the standard powers-of-ten pattern, moving the decimal point by three places per step up or down the scale.

Watt per ampere is included because it is dimensionally and numerically identical to the volt, since power divided by current equals voltage, so the converter treats it as the same unit without any extra scaling. The CGS abvolt is defined as exactly one hundred-millionth of a volt (1e-8 V), while the statvolt is defined as roughly 299.792458 volts, both legacy units from electromagnetic and electrostatic CGS systems respectively.

Enter a value with your chosen from and to units, and the result updates immediately, with a full table showing the same voltage across every supported unit at once. A precision control sets how many decimal places are displayed, and a swap button reverses the two selected units in a single click.

Suppose an older physics text reports a potential difference as 2 statvolts, and a student wants that figure in ordinary volts for a modern circuit calculation. Multiplying by the conversion factor: 2 × 299.792458 = 599.584916 V.

Entering 2 into the statvolt field with volt selected as the target returns about 599.58 V immediately. The full unit table also shows this same value as roughly 0.59958 kV and 599,584,916 abvolts, all computed from that single entry without further arithmetic. Dividing 599.584916 by 1,000,000 also gives about 0.0005996 megavolts, which lines up with the megavolt row in the table and confirms the scaling was carried through correctly.
