Conversion Formula
kV·cm = V·m × 0.1
About Volt-metres
The volt-metre (V·m) is the SI coherent unit of electric flux, equal to 1 N·m²/C = 1 kg·m³·A⁻¹·s⁻³. By Gauss's law Φ = Q/ε₀: a surface enclosing 1 nC has total flux ≈0.113 kV·m; fair-weather atmospheric flux through a horizontal 1 m² is ≈130 V·m. 1 V·m = N·m²/C = 100 V·cm.
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.
