This web page allows you to convert the different electric tension units and answers the following questions in particular: What is electric tension and what is its function in conductors? What are the different units of measurement used for electric tension? What are some examples of reference and record values in the different units of measurement for electric tension? How can electric tension be converted from one unit of measurement to another? What is the summary of the concept of electric tension presented in this text?
Electric tension is the force responsible for the potential movement of electrons through conductors. It is the pressure that pulls electrons from one point to another, resulting in the flow of electric current. The SI unit for measuring electric tension is the volt (V). This is defined as the work energy required to move a charge of one coulomb perpendicularly through a potential difference of one-volt.
Electric tension is measured in different units, such as millivolts (mV), microvolts (µV), kilovolts (kV), megavolts (MV), and gigavolts (GV). Millivolts is the unit of measurement in a battery or a pulse generator. The amount of millivolts or the electric tension in such a system can range from 0.1mV to 1000mV. Microvolts are used in the field of neurology, specifically to measure the electric potential differences of the brain, while kilovolts are used to measure high-tension electricity, such as in hydroelectric plants. Megavolts and gigavolts are used to measure extremely high electric tension, such as in particle accelerators.
Electric tension can be converted from one unit to another using the formula: E (V) = P (W) / I (A). This equation states that the electric tension, measured in volts, is equal to the wattage, measured in watts, divided by the current, measured in amperes. An example of this equation in action would be the conversion from kilovolts to megavolts. To convert from kilovolts to megavolts, take the number of kilovolts and multiply it by one-thousand. This should yield the number of megavolts.
Electric tension is an important concept behind the movement of electrons in a conductor. It is measured in different units, such as volts, millivolts, kilovolts, megavolts, and gigavolts. Examples of reference and record values in the various units of electric tension are provided in this chapter. Finally, a conversion formula to convert from one unit of electric tension to another has been explained.
