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 Volts per inch
The volt per inch (V/in) equals exactly 1 / 0.0254 V/m ≈ 39.370 V/m, used in North American high-voltage insulation specifications, PCB design rules, and cable withstand-voltage testing. ANSI/IEEE standards quote insulation withstand voltages per inch of creepage distance; PCB high-voltage layout rules specify minimum clearances rated in V/in; US power-supply withstand tests may state a 1 000 V/in dielectric rating. 1 V/in ≈ 39.370 V/m.
