Convert Microvolts per metre to Abvolts per centimetre

Convert Microvolts per metre (µV/m) to Abvolts per centimetre (abV/cm) instantly and accurately.

Conversion Formula

abV/cm = µV/m × 1

About Microvolts per metre

The microvolt per metre (µV/m) equals 10⁻⁶ V/m, the standard unit for the electric component of weak radio-frequency fields measured far from transmitters. GPS L1 signals arrive at Earth's surface at about 4 µV/m; FM broadcast receivers require a minimum of 10-50 µV/m for acceptable reception; regulatory RF exposure limits for base stations are typically set in the range 1-100 µV/m. 1 µV/m = 10⁻⁶ V/m.

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.
