Which is equal to one kilovolt?
- A.One one-thousandth of a volt
- B.One hundred volts
- C.One thousand volts (correct answer)
- D.One million volts
WhyOne kilovolt is equal to one thousand volts. The prefix "kilo" means one thousand, so one kilovolt equals 1000 volts, answer C. A confuses kilo with milli, a thousandth, and B and D are both off by orders of magnitude from the correct value.
