Conversion Formula
kV/cm = mV/cm × 1.000000000e-6
About Millivolts per centimetre
The millivolt per centimetre (mV/cm) equals exactly 0.1 V/m, used in electrophoresis, biosensor calibration, and bioelectric stimulation research. Standard DNA gel electrophoresis runs at 5-15 V/cm = 5 000-15 000 mV/cm; transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) produces cortical fields of 0.1-0.5 mV/cm; field-effect biosensors detect analyte-binding events as mV/cm-scale potential gradients. 1 mV/cm = 0.1 V/m.
About Kilovolts per centimetre
The kilovolt per centimetre (kV/cm) equals exactly 10⁵ V/m = 100 kV/m, the practical unit for high-voltage insulation breakdown tests, gas discharge thresholds, and electrostatic process engineering. Air breakdown at standard conditions is about 30 kV/cm; transformer mineral oil withstands 10-20 kV/cm; XLPE power cable insulation is rated 20-40 kV/cm; electrostatic paint spraying operates at 5-15 kV/cm. 1 kV/cm = 10⁵ V/m.
