## What is Voltage Conversion?
Voltage conversion involves changing electrical potential difference measurements between different units. Voltage, or electromotive force, is fundamental to electrical engineering and electronics. Our converter handles everything from microvolt sensor signals to megavolt power transmission.
// Common Voltage Units Explained
// The SI unit of electrical potential. Named after Alessandro Volta. Common household batteries are 1.5V or 9V.
// One thousandth of a volt. Used for small signals like thermocouple outputs and biosensors.
// One thousand volts. Used for high-voltage applications like power transmission lines (typically 110-765 kV).
When to Use This Converter
Our voltage converter is valuable for electrical engineers designing circuits, technicians troubleshooting systems, students learning electronics, and anyone working with electrical specifications from different countries.
## Frequently Asked Questions
01 ### Q: What is the difference between AC and DC voltage?
AC (alternating current) voltage changes direction periodically, while DC (direct current) flows in one direction. Household outlets provide AC; batteries provide DC.
*/02 ### Q: Why do different countries use different voltages?
Historical development led to 110-120V in North America and 220-240V in most other countries. Higher voltage is more efficient for transmission but requires different safety standards.
