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 Volts per centimetre
The volt per centimetre (V/cm) equals exactly 100 V/m, the practical unit for electrophoresis fields, thin-film electrical measurements, and solid dielectric breakdown specifications. Standard agarose gel electrophoresis runs at 5-15 V/cm; SiO₂ gate-oxide breakdown field is about 10 MV/cm = 10⁹ V/m; electro-osmotic flow in microfluidics is driven at 10-100 V/cm. 1 V/cm = 100 V/m.
