How the formula works
Both centivolt and kilovolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centivolts by 0.00001 to get kilovolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a kilovolt value by 100000 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 Kilovolt (kV)?
A Kilovolt (kV) equals 1,000 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for kilo-scale electrical work.
How do I convert centivolts to kilovolts?
Multiply the centivolt value by 0.00001 to get the equivalent in kilovolts. For example, 5 cV × 0.00001 = 0.00005 kV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.00001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert kilovolts back to centivolts?
Yes. Divide the kilovolt value by 0.00001, or multiply it by 100000, to get centivolts.
