Key Stage 3

Meaning

A Volt (V) is the scientific unit of Potential Difference.

About Volts

Volts are shortened to an upper case V.
A typical square battery is 9V.

Converting to Volts

Unit To convert Volts
1 Megavolt (1MV) Convert to Volts x1000,000. 1000,000V
1 kilovolt (1kV) Convert to Volts x1000. 1000V
1 volt (1V) Convert to Volts x1. 1V
1 millivolt 1(mV) Convert to Volts /1000. 0.001V
1 microvolt 1(µV) Convert to Volts /1000,000. 0.000001V

Key Stage 4

Meaning

Volts (V) are the SI Unit for current.

About Volts

Volts are shortened to an upper case V.
A volt is one Joule per Coulomb.

Converting to Volts

Unit To convert Volts
1 megavolt (1MV) Convert to Volts x106 1x106V
1 kilovolt (1kV) Convert to Volts x103 1x103V
1 Volt (1V) Convert to Volts x1 1V
1 millivolt 1(mV) Convert to Volts x10-3 1x10-3V
