Use this page to convert kilovolt per centimeter values into volt per meter, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.

Kilovolt per centimeter

One kilovolt per centimeter is equal to one hundred thousand volts per meter (100000 volts per meter).

History: Centimeter-scale high-voltage units are common in dielectric strength references.

Current use: Used for dielectric breakdown, insulation testing, and high-field laboratory work.

Also written as kV/cm.

Volt per meter

Volt per meter measures electric potential difference per unit length.

History: Volt per meter is the SI derived unit for electric field strength.

Current use: Used in electromagnetism, insulation, antennas, sensors, high-voltage design, and physics.

Also written as V/m.
