How the formula works
Both centivolt and hectovolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centivolts by 0.0001 to get hectovolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a hectovolt value by 10000 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 Hectovolt (hV)?
A Hectovolt (hV) equals 100 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for hecto-scale electrical work.
How do I convert centivolts to hectovolts?
Multiply the centivolt value by 0.0001 to get the equivalent in hectovolts. For example, 5 cV × 0.0001 = 0.0005 hV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.0001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert hectovolts back to centivolts?
Yes. Divide the hectovolt value by 0.0001, or multiply it by 10000, to get centivolts.
