About Converting Attovolts to Picovolts
Attovolt and Picovolt both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Attovolt is 1e-18 volt units, and picovolt is 1e-12 volt units.
Formula
picovolts = attovolts × 0.000001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 attovolt equals 1e-18 base units, and 1 picovolt equals 1e-12 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct attovolt-to-picovolt factor of 0.000001.
Simple example
1 aV × 0.000001 = 0.000001 pV
1 attovolt = 0.000001 picovolts.
Real-world example
120 aV × 0.000001 = 0.00012 pV
120 attovolts = 0.00012 picovolts.

Reverse conversion: Picovolt to Attovolt
0.000001 pV × 1000000 = 1 aV
0.000001 picovolts = 1 attovolts.
attovolts = picovolts × 1000000

Frequently asked questions
How many picovolts are in 1 attovolt?
1 attovolt equals 0.000001 picovolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert attovolt to picovolt?
Multiply the attovolt value by 0.000001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert picovolt back to attovolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 picovolt equals 1,000,000 attovolts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a attovolt?
Attovolt (aV) is a unit of electricity.
What is a picovolt?
Picovolt (pV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the attovolt to picovolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both attovolt and picovolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000001 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
