Conversion Formula
V/m = GV/m × 1000000000
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 Volts per metre
The volt per metre (V/m) is the SI coherent unit of electric field strength, equal to 1 N/C = 1 kg·m·A⁻¹·s⁻³. The fair-weather atmospheric surface electric field averages 100-200 V/m; a 1 W isotropic antenna produces about 5.5 V/m at 1 m; thunderstorm clouds build surface fields of 10 000-100 000 V/m before lightning discharge. 1 V/m = 1 N/C.
