Conversion Formula
mV/cm = V/m × 10
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.
About Millivolts per centimetre
The millivolt per centimetre (mV/cm) equals exactly 0.1 V/m, used in electrophoresis, biosensor calibration, and bioelectric stimulation research. Standard DNA gel electrophoresis runs at 5-15 V/cm = 5 000-15 000 mV/cm; transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) produces cortical fields of 0.1-0.5 mV/cm; field-effect biosensors detect analyte-binding events as mV/cm-scale potential gradients. 1 mV/cm = 0.1 V/m.
