millivolt
This term is a technical unit of measurement used primarily in electronics, physics, and medical instrumentation. It is employed when a standard volt is too large a unit to describe the subtle electrical potentials found in sensors, biological membranes, or precision circuitry.
As a standard unit of measurement, it follows the convention where the singular form is used in mathematical expressions (e.g., 5 millivolt difference) but the plural form is used in general descriptive prose (e.g., the signal consists of several millivolts).
Meanings
Examples
A small change of a few millivolts can affect the reading.
The thermocouple produces a voltage of several millivolts per degree.
I need to calibrate the meter to detect a single millivolt.
The EEG records brain activity in the range of microvolts to millivolts.
The amplifier boosts a millivolt signal to a level that can be processed.
