Voltage most certainly can be expressed in millivolts. Milli is simply an prefix that means one thousandth. I have seem picovolts, microvolts, millivolts, volts, kilovolts, megavolts and teravolts in common use. Other prefixes are also valid.

How is -900mV expressed in volts?

A: Milli kilo represent a multiplier 900 mv is equivalent to 0.9 volts or 0.0009 kilo volts the value remain the same just the decimal move 3 places


A single phase transformer has an input voltage of 240v and output voltage of 50v and a rated input power of 4.20kW if their is 1344 windings on the input side how many on the output?

There is (240 / 1344) = 179 milli volts per turn. The output voltage is 50 volts, so 50 / .179 = 280 turns on the secondary.


What is voltage also known as?

The term, 'voltage', is synonymous with 'potential difference'.Originally, the term 'voltage' was used to describe potential difference when specifcally expressed in volts. These days, however, we use the term whatever multiples or submultiples of volts are used -so it applies to potential difference whether expressed in microvolts, millivolts, volts, kilovolts, megavolts, etc.It's very important to understand that voltage is synonymous with 'potential difference', and not'potential'. So it would be quite incorrect to describe, say, the 'voltage at a point' in a circuit (e.g. "...the voltage at point A in a circuit is +12 V").


What is the measurements of 75 kva transformer 3 phase?

For a single-phase transformer, divide the ratedapparent power (expressed in volt amperes) by the voltage rating (expressed in volts) of the primary winding; this will give you the rated primary current (expressed in amperes) of the primary winding.


How many milliamps in 48.8 watts?

Milli amps is a measure of current whilst watt is a measure of power. The missing element is voltage as the formula is:- Power = Voltage * Amps ie power in Watts is the product of Volts (in Volts) times Amps (in Amps)

What is the difference between milli volt meter and volt meter?

A milli voltmeter is suitable for measuring voltage/potential difference in milli volts, thus they measure smaller voltages. A regular voltmeter is used to measure comparatively larger voltages.


How can you convert milli volts into volts?

700 milli amps 9 volts?

Power P = amperage I times voltage V. The power is 0.7 times 9 = 6,3 watts.


How many watts in 1 milli amp?

This would depend on the voltage. There is a formula you use to figure wattage which is amps X volts = watts. Since a milliamp is 1/1,000th of an amp, then if the voltage is, say the standard 120 volts AC then 120 X 1/1,000th = .12 (12 one hundredths of a watt) watts. If the voltage was the standard 12 volts DC then it would be 12 X 1/1,000th (or 0.001)= 1.2 watts

how we can prepare 100 ppm of NiCl ?


What is the ratio of electric current and voltage in the closed circuit?

The name given by engineers to the ratio of "electrical potential difference" (expressed in volts) to "rate of current flow" (expressed in amperes) is "resistance" (expressed in ohms).


How do you calculate current capacity of transformer?

The secondary winding's current rating is the rated apparent power of the transformer (expressed in volt amperes) divided by its voltage rating (expressed in volts). This applies to both step down, and step up, transformers.


What is ac power and ac voltage?

AC power is electricially, a value that is expressed in watts and voltage is the electromotive force that combined with amps, makes up the formula to find watts. Watts is the product of Amps x Volts. W = amps x volts.


What is the pressure that pushes the electrons called?

Voltage. Voltage is an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts. This was discovered by Alessandro Volta. The formula for voltage can be recognized as amps×ohms known as Ohm's law.-Xavier D.
