Convert Kilovolt-metres to Kilovolt-centimetres
Convert Kilovolt-metres (kV·m) to Kilovolt-centimetres (kV·cm) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kV·cm = kV·m × 100
About Kilovolt-metres
The kilovolt-metre (kV·m) equals 10³ V·m. By Gauss's law a surface enclosing 1 µC has total flux Q/ε₀ ≈ 113 kV·m; flux through a 10 m² cross-section of a 100 V/m atmospheric field region is 1 kV·m; flux integrals in high-voltage substation insulator analysis are in the kV·m range. 1 kV·m = 10³ V·m.
About Kilovolt-centimetres
The kilovolt-centimetre (kV·cm) equals 10³ V × 0.01 m = 10 V·m. In power device characterisation where field strengths are in kV/cm (typical dielectric breakdown is 3-30 kV/cm) and areas in cm², the kV·cm is the natural flux unit; SiC MOSFET blocking-layer flux integrals are in the kV·cm range. 1 kV·cm = 10 V·m = 10³ V·cm.
