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 metre
The volt per metre (V/m) is the SI coherent unit of electric field strength, equal to 1 N/C = 1 kg·m·A⁻¹·s⁻³. The fair-weather atmospheric surface electric field averages 100-200 V/m; a 1 W isotropic antenna produces about 5.5 V/m at 1 m; thunderstorm clouds build surface fields of 10 000-100 000 V/m before lightning discharge. 1 V/m = 1 N/C.
