Convert ESU of electric potential to volt

Learn how to convert 1 ESU of electric potential to volt step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (E S U o f e l e c t r i c p o t e n t i a l) = x (v o l t)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(v o l t)

Left side: 1.0 (E S U o f e l e c t r i c p o t e n t i a l) = 299.792458 (v o l t) = 299.792458 (V)

Right side: 1.0 (v o l t) = 1.0 (v o l t) = 1.0 (V)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (E S U o f e l e c t r i c p o t e n t i a l) = x (v o l t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 299.792458 \times (v o l t) = x \times 1.0 \times (v o l t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 299.792458 \cdot (V) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (V)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 299.792458 \cdot (V) = x \times 1.0 \times (V)

Conversion Equation

299.792458 = x \times 1.0

Simplify

299.792458 = x

Switch sides

x = 299.792458

Solve

x

x = 299.792458 \approx 2.9979 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (E S U o f e l e c t r i c p o t e n t i a l) \approx 2.9979 \times 10^{2} (v o l t)
