Question
Which is equal to one kilovolt?
Answer Options
- A) One one-thousandth of a volt
- B) One hundred volts
- C) One thousand volts
- D) One million volts
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The prefix ‘kilo-’ (\text{k}) means 1,000. Therefore, one kilovolt (\text{kV}) is equal to one thousand volts (\text{1000 V}).
This unit is commonly used to describe the high voltages found in the final amplifier stages of tube-based amateur radio transmitters, where potentials can reach several thousand volts.
