How the formula works
Both centivolt and milliampere measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centivolts by 10 to get milliamperes. To reverse the conversion, multiply a milliampere value by 0.1 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 Milliampere (mA)?
A Milliampere (mA) equals 1/1,000 ampere(s), a scaled unit of electric current used for milli-scale electrical work.
How do I convert centivolts to milliamperes?
Multiply the centivolt value by 10 to get the equivalent in milliamperes. For example, 5 cV × 10 = 50 mA.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 10 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert milliamperes back to centivolts?
Yes. Divide the milliampere value by 10, or multiply it by 0.1, to get centivolts.
