Gigavolt

One gigavolt is equal to one billion volts (1e9 volts).

History: Gigavolt potentials occur in cosmic-ray physics and pulsed high-voltage research.

Current use: Used for accelerator physics, lightning research, and pulsed-power experiments.

Also written as GV.

Volt

Volt measures electric potential difference, equal to one watt per ampere.

History: The volt is named after Alessandro Volta and is the SI derived unit of electric potential.

Current use: Used in circuits, electronics, batteries, power systems, sensors, and electrical specifications.

Also written as V, volts.
