Convert electrical units by family and calculate voltage, current, resistance, power, and energy with context values.
Context values
Some unit families need one extra value for a physically accurate result.
Decivolt is 0.1 volt units.
Result = input x 1e-6 / 0.1.

About Converting Microvolts to Decivolts
Microvolt and Decivolt 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: Microvolt is 0.000001 volt units, and decivolt is 0.1 volt units.
Formula
decivolts = microvolts × 0.00001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 microvolt equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 decivolt equals 0.1 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct microvolt-to-decivolt factor of 0.00001.
Simple example
1 uV × 0.00001 = 0.00001 dV
1 microvolt = 0.00001 decivolts.
Real-world example
120 uV × 0.00001 = 0.0012 dV
120 microvolts = 0.0012 decivolts.

Reverse conversion: Decivolt to Microvolt
0.00001 dV × 100000 = 1 uV
0.00001 decivolts = 1 microvolts.
microvolts = decivolts × 100000

Frequently asked questions
How many decivolts are in 1 microvolt?
1 microvolt equals 0.00001 decivolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert microvolt to decivolt?
Multiply the microvolt value by 0.00001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert decivolt back to microvolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 decivolt equals 100,000 microvolts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a microvolt?
Microvolt (uV) is a unit of electricity.
What is a decivolt?
Decivolt (dV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the microvolt to decivolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both microvolt and decivolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00001 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.
