About Converting Attovolts to Yoctovolts
Attovolt and Yoctovolt 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 yoctovolt is 1e-24 volt units.
Formula
yoctovolts = attovolts × 1000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 attovolt equals 1e-18 base units, and 1 yoctovolt equals 1e-24 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct attovolt-to-yoctovolt factor of 1000000.
Simple example
1 aV × 1000000 = 1,000,000 yV
1 attovolt = 1,000,000 yoctovolts.
Real-world example
120 aV × 1000000 = 120,000,000 yV
120 attovolts = 120,000,000 yoctovolts.

Frequently asked questions
How many yoctovolts are in 1 attovolt?
1 attovolt equals 1,000,000 yoctovolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert attovolt to yoctovolt?
Multiply the attovolt value by 1000000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert yoctovolt back to attovolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 yoctovolt equals 0.000001 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 yoctovolt?
Yoctovolt (yV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the attovolt to yoctovolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both attovolt and yoctovolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1000000 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.
