How the formula works
Both decivolt and centivolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in decivolts by 10 to get centivolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centivolt value by 0.1 to get back to decivolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Decivolt (dV)?
A Decivolt (dV) equals 1/10 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for deci-scale electrical work.
What is Centivolt (cV)?
A Centivolt (cV) equals 1/100 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for centi-scale electrical work.
How do I convert decivolts to centivolts?
Multiply the decivolt value by 10 to get the equivalent in centivolts. For example, 5 dV × 10 = 50 cV.
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 centivolts back to decivolts?
Yes. Divide the centivolt value by 10, or multiply it by 0.1, to get decivolts.
