To convert a measurement in abvolts to a measurement in gigavolts, divide the voltage by the following conversion ratio: 1.0E+17 abvolts/gigavolt.

Since one gigavolt is equal to 1.0E+17 abvolts, you can use this simple formula to convert:

gigavolts = abvolts ÷ 1.0E+17

The voltage in gigavolts is equal to the voltage in abvolts divided by 1.0E+17.

For example, here's how to convert 5.0E+16 abvolts to gigavolts using the formula above.
gigavolts = (5.0E+16 abV ÷ 1.0E+17) = 0.5 GV

Abvolts and gigavolts are both units used to measure voltage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is an Abvolt?

One abvolt is the difference in electric potential equal to exactly 10 nanovolts. One abvolt is equal to the potential difference that would move one abampere of current against one abohm of resistance.

The abvolt is a centimeter-gram-second (CGS) electrostatic unit of voltage. An abvolt is sometimes also referred to as an EMU. Abvolts can be abbreviated as abV, and are also sometimes abbreviated as aV. For example, 1 abvolt can be written as 1 abV or 1 aV.

What Is a Gigavolt?

One gigavolt is equal to 1,000,000,000 volts, which are the potential difference that would move one ampere of current against one ohm of resistance.

The gigavolt is a multiple of the volt, which is the SI derived unit for voltage. In the metric system, "giga" is the prefix for billions, or 109. Gigavolts can be abbreviated as GV; for example, 1 gigavolt can be written as 1 GV.
