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.
Femtovolt is 1e-15 volt units.
Result = input x 1e-12 / 1e-15.

About Converting Picovolts to Femtovolts
Picovolt and Femtovolt 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: Picovolt is 1e-12 volt units, and femtovolt is 1e-15 volt units.
Formula
femtovolts = picovolts × 1000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 picovolt equals 1e-12 base units, and 1 femtovolt equals 1e-15 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct picovolt-to-femtovolt factor of 1000.
Simple example
1 pV × 1000 = 1,000 fV
1 picovolt = 1,000 femtovolts.
Real-world example
120 pV × 1000 = 120,000 fV
120 picovolts = 120,000 femtovolts.

Reverse conversion: Femtovolt to Picovolt
1 fV × 0.001 = 0.001 pV
1 femtovolt = 0.001 picovolts.
picovolts = femtovolts × 0.001

Frequently asked questions
How many femtovolts are in 1 picovolt?
1 picovolt equals 1,000 femtovolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert picovolt to femtovolt?
Multiply the picovolt value by 1000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert femtovolt back to picovolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 femtovolt equals 0.001 picovolts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a picovolt?
Picovolt (pV) is a unit of electricity.
What is a femtovolt?
Femtovolt (fV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the picovolt to femtovolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both picovolt and femtovolt 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.
