Context values
Some unit families need one extra value for a physically accurate result.
Microvolt is 0.000001 volt units.
Result = input x 0.01 / 1e-6.

About Converting Centivolts to Microvolts
Centivolt and Microvolt 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: Centivolt is 0.01 volt units, and microvolt is 0.000001 volt units.
Formula
microvolts = centivolts × 10000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centivolt equals 0.01 base units, and 1 microvolt equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centivolt-to-microvolt factor of 10000.
Simple example
1 cV × 10000 = 10,000 uV
1 centivolt = 10,000 microvolts.
Real-world example
120 cV × 10000 = 1,200,000 uV
120 centivolts = 1,200,000 microvolts.

Reverse conversion: Microvolt to Centivolt
1 uV × 0.0001 = 0.0001 cV
1 microvolt = 0.0001 centivolts.
centivolts = microvolts × 0.0001

Frequently asked questions
How many microvolts are in 1 centivolt?
1 centivolt equals 10,000 microvolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centivolt to microvolt?
Multiply the centivolt value by 10000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert microvolt back to centivolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 microvolt equals 0.0001 centivolts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centivolt?
Centivolt (cV) is a unit of electricity.
What is a microvolt?
Microvolt (uV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the centivolt to microvolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both centivolt and microvolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 10000 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.
