Conversion Formula

V/m = V/cm × 100

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 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.
