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 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.
