How the formula works
Both centivolt and decivolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centivolts by 0.1 to get decivolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a decivolt value by 10 to get back to centivolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Centivolt (cV)?
A Centivolt (cV) equals 1/100 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for centi-scale electrical work.
What is Decivolt (dV)?
A Decivolt (dV) equals 1/10 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for deci-scale electrical work.
How do I convert centivolts to decivolts?
Multiply the centivolt value by 0.1 to get the equivalent in decivolts. For example, 5 cV × 0.1 = 0.5 dV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.1 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert decivolts back to centivolts?
Yes. Divide the decivolt value by 0.1, or multiply it by 10, to get centivolts.
