How the formula works
Both volt and centivolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in volts by 100 to get centivolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centivolt value by 0.01 to get back to volts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Volt (V)?
The volt (V) is the SI unit of electric potential difference, the "push" that drives current through a circuit.
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 volts to centivolts?
Multiply the volt value by 100 to get the equivalent in centivolts. For example, 5 V × 100 = 500 cV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 100 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centivolts back to volts?
Yes. Divide the centivolt value by 100, or multiply it by 0.01, to get volts.
