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.
Nanovolt is 1e-9 volt units.
Result = input x 1e-6 / 1e-9.
Electrical units in the same family convert directly.

About Converting Microvolts to Nanovolts
Microvolt and Nanovolt 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 nanovolt is 1e-9 volt units.
Formula
nanovolts = microvolts × 1000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 microvolt equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 nanovolt equals 1e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct microvolt-to-nanovolt factor of 1000.
Simple example
1 uV × 1000 = 1,000 nV
1 microvolt = 1,000 nanovolts.
Real-world example
120 uV × 1000 = 120,000 nV
120 microvolts = 120,000 nanovolts.

Reverse conversion: Nanovolt to Microvolt
1 nV × 0.001 = 0.001 uV
1 nanovolt = 0.001 microvolts.
microvolts = nanovolts × 0.001

Frequently asked questions
How many nanovolts are in 1 microvolt?
1 microvolt equals 1,000 nanovolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert microvolt to nanovolt?
Multiply the microvolt value by 1000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert nanovolt back to microvolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 nanovolt equals 0.001 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 nanovolt?
Nanovolt (nV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the microvolt to nanovolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both microvolt and nanovolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1000 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.
