Conversion Formula

mV/cm = N/C × 10

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.

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.
