About Megavolts per metre
The megavolt per metre (MV/m) equals 10⁶ V/m, the scale for accelerating gradients in particle accelerators, internal fields in semiconductor devices, and piezoelectric actuator operation. RF linear accelerator cavities achieve 20-100 MV/m; CMOS gate-oxide fields at 1.8 V across 2 nm SiO₂ are about 900 MV/m; piezoelectric stack actuators operate at 1-3 MV/m. 1 MV/m = 10⁶ V/m.
About Newtons per coulomb
The newton per coulomb (N/C) is dimensionally identical to V/m (1 N/C = 1 V/m = 1 kg·m·A⁻¹·s⁻³) and is preferred in force-based electrostatics, where the field is defined directly as E = F/q. Coulomb's law gives the field near a point charge as E = kq/r² naturally in N/C; the unit is standard in introductory physics alongside field-line diagrams. 1 N/C = 1 V/m.
