Convert Volts per centimetre to Gigavolts per metre
Convert Volts per centimetre (V/cm) to Gigavolts per metre (GV/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
GV/m = V/cm × 1.000000000e-7
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.
About Gigavolts per metre
The gigavolt per metre (GV/m) equals 10⁹ V/m, the scale for avalanche breakdown in semiconductor junctions, electron field emission from metal tips, and intense laser-pulse focal fields. Silicon p-n junction avalanche fields are 0.3-0.5 GV/m; electron field emission from tungsten tips begins near 1-5 GV/m; intense femtosecond laser pulses produce peak fields exceeding 1 GV/m in the focal volume. 1 GV/m = 10⁹ V/m.
