About Statvolts per centimetre
The statvolt per centimetre (statV/cm) is the electric field unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, equal to c / 10⁴ V/m where c = 299 792 458 m/s, giving exactly 29 979.2458 V/m. It is the natural field unit for Gaussian-CGS electrostatics; the field at 1 cm from a 1-statcoulomb point charge in vacuum is exactly 1 statV/cm; Gaussian-system formulas for Coulomb's law and dielectric polarisation use statV/cm without a 4πε₀ factor. 1 statV/cm ≈ 29.979 kV/m.
About Kilovolts per metre
The kilovolt per metre (kV/m) equals 10³ V/m, the standard unit for power-frequency electric field safety limits and environmental surveys near high-voltage infrastructure. ICNIRP occupational exposure limit for 50 Hz electric fields is 10 kV/m; directly under a 400 kV transmission line the surface field reaches 10-15 kV/m; the Earth's fair-weather atmospheric field averages 0.1-0.2 kV/m. 1 kV/m = 10³ V/m.
