How the formula works
Both millivolt and centivolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in millivolts by 0.1 to get centivolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centivolt value by 10 to get back to millivolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Millivolt (mV)?
A Millivolt (mV) equals 1/1,000 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for milli-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 millivolts to centivolts?
Multiply the millivolt value by 0.1 to get the equivalent in centivolts. For example, 5 mV × 0.1 = 0.5 cV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.1 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centivolts back to millivolts?
Yes. Divide the centivolt value by 0.1, or multiply it by 10, to get millivolts.
