Conversion Formula
kV/m = GV/m × 1000000
About Gigavolts per metre
The gigavolt per metre (GV/m) equals 10⁹ V/m, the scale for avalanche breakdown in semiconductor junctions, electron field emission from metal tips, and intense laser-pulse focal fields. Silicon p-n junction avalanche fields are 0.3-0.5 GV/m; electron field emission from tungsten tips begins near 1-5 GV/m; intense femtosecond laser pulses produce peak fields exceeding 1 GV/m in the focal volume. 1 GV/m = 10⁹ V/m.
About Kilovolts per metre
The kilovolt per metre (kV/m) equals 10³ V/m, the standard unit for power-frequency electric field safety limits and environmental surveys near high-voltage infrastructure. ICNIRP occupational exposure limit for 50 Hz electric fields is 10 kV/m; directly under a 400 kV transmission line the surface field reaches 10-15 kV/m; the Earth's fair-weather atmospheric field averages 0.1-0.2 kV/m. 1 kV/m = 10³ V/m.
