How the formula works
Both hectovolt and centivolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in hectovolts by 10000 to get centivolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centivolt value by 0.0001 to get back to hectovolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Hectovolt (hV)?
A Hectovolt (hV) equals 100 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for hecto-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 hectovolts to centivolts?
Multiply the hectovolt value by 10000 to get the equivalent in centivolts. For example, 5 hV × 10000 = 50000 cV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 10000 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centivolts back to hectovolts?
Yes. Divide the centivolt value by 10000, or multiply it by 0.0001, to get hectovolts.
