About Converting Microvolts to Yoctovolts
Microvolt and Yoctovolt 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 yoctovolt is 1e-24 volt units.
Formula
yoctovolts = microvolts × 1e+18
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 microvolt equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 yoctovolt equals 1e-24 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct microvolt-to-yoctovolt factor of 1e+18.
Simple example
1 uV × 1e+18 = 1e+18 yV
1 microvolt = 1e+18 yoctovolts.
Real-world example
120 uV × 1e+18 = 1.2e+20 yV
120 microvolts = 1.2e+20 yoctovolts.

Reverse conversion: Yoctovolt to Microvolt
1e+18 yV × 1e-18 = 1 uV
1e+18 yoctovolts = 1 microvolt.
microvolts = yoctovolts × 1e-18

Frequently asked questions
How many yoctovolts are in 1 microvolt?
1 microvolt equals 1e+18 yoctovolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert microvolt to yoctovolt?
Multiply the microvolt value by 1e+18. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert yoctovolt back to microvolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 yoctovolt equals 1e-18 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 yoctovolt?
Yoctovolt (yV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the microvolt to yoctovolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both microvolt and yoctovolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e+18 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.
