GV(gigavolt)

In the field of electric potential, a gigavolt (GV) is a unit used to measure the strength of electric potential difference or voltage. It is equivalent to 1 billion (10^9) volts. Electric potential difference is a measure of the energy needed to move a charged particle between two points in an electric field, and it is essential in understanding electrical circuits, potential energy, charge distribution, and electric fields in various applications. Gigavolts are typically used when referring to extremely high voltage scenarios, which are significantly larger when compared to household or everyday electrical systems.

µV(microvolt)

A microvolt (µV) is a unit of electric potential, also known as voltage or potential difference. It is a derived unit of the International System of Units (SI) and is equal to one millionth (1/1,000,000) of a volt (V).

In the field of electric potential, voltage is a measure of the electric potential energy per unit charge that exists between two points in an electric field. It represents the force required to move an electric charge from one point to another against the electric field.

A microvolt (µV) is often used in circuits and electronic devices where the potential difference is very small, like in low-power electronic components such as sensors or bioelectronic devices (e.g., measuring brain wave voltage in electroencephalography). It helps to provide precise measurements when dealing with very small voltages.
