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.
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.
