Convert Abvolts per centimetre (abV/cm) to Millivolts per metre (mV/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mV/m = abV/cm × 0.001
About Abvolts per centimetre
The abvolt per centimetre (abV/cm) is the electric field unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abV / 1 cm = 10⁻⁸ V / 0.01 m = 10⁻⁶ V/m, exactly equal to 1 µV/m. It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic texts alongside the abampere and abohm when deriving field solutions from the CGS-EMU form of Coulomb's law. 1 abV/cm = 10⁻⁶ V/m = 1 µV/m.
About Millivolts per metre
The millivolt per metre (mV/m) equals 10⁻³ V/m, used for medium-wave broadcast field-strength measurements and near-field EMC compliance testing. An AM broadcast tower at 1 km produces a field of roughly 100 mV/m; international AM service-area limits specify minimum field strengths of 3-10 mV/m; power-frequency (50/60 Hz) fields near overhead HV lines are a few mV/m. 1 mV/m = 10⁻³ V/m.
