Key Stage 4
Meaning
Kilovolts (kV) are a unit of current 1,000 times larger than the SI Unit; the Volt.
About Kilovolts
- Kilovolts are shortened to kV with a lower case k and an upper case V.
- Kilo means one thousand so there are 1,000 Volts in a kilovolt.
Converting to Kilovolts
| Unit | To convert | Kilovolts |
| 1 megavolt (1MV) | Convert to kilovolts x103 | 1x103kV |
| 1 kilovolt (1kV) | Convert to kilovolts x1 | 1kV |
| 1 Volt (1V) | Convert to kilovolts x10-3 | 1x10-3kV |
| 1 millivolt 1(mV) | Convert to kilovolts x10-6 | 1x10-6kV |
| 1 microvolt 1(µV) | Convert to kilovolts x10-9 | 1x10-9kV |
| 1 nanovolt 1(nV) | Convert to kilovolts x10-12 | 1x10-12kV |
