Gigavolts to Volts Conversion

Type a voltage in gigavolts and press Convert to see the same potential difference stated in volts. One gigavolt equals 1000000000 volts, so every answer is just the number you entered scaled up by that factor.

How to convert gigavolts to volts

A gigavolt is a billion volts, so moving from GV to V means scaling the figure up by 1000000000. Enter the gigavolt amount in the field, press Convert, and the matching voltage in volts appears straight away.

Once the answer is on screen you can press Copy to put it on your clipboard for a worksheet or spec sheet, or Clear to wipe the field and start another conversion.

GV to volts formula

The voltage V in volts is equal to the voltage in gigavolts multiplied by 1000000000: V(V) = V(GV) x 1000000000.

For example, a potential of 3 GV works out to 3 x 1000000000 = 3000000000 V.

Working in reverse uses the reciprocal relationship: 1 V = 0.000000001 GV, so divide a volt value by 1000000000 to express it in gigavolts.
