Kilovolts per meter to Volts per centimeter formula and what each symbol means
V/cm = kV/m × 10
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| kV/m | Kilovolt per meter |
| V/cm | Volt per centimeter |
Kilovolts per meter to Volts per centimeter examples
1 kV/m
1 kV/m × 10 = 10 V/cm.
10 kV/m
10 kV/m × 10 = 100 V/cm.
100 kV/m
100 kV/m × 10 = 1,000 V/cm.
Kilovolts per meter compared with Volts per centimeter
One kV/m is 10 times as large as one V/cm, so your number gets bigger when you convert kilovolts per meter to volts per centimeter and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
About kilovolts per meter and volts per centimeter
Kilovolt per meter (kV/m): Kilovolt per metre, 1,000 V/m. Volt per centimeter (V/cm): Volt per centimetre, 100 V/m.
How to calculate Kilovolts per meter to Volts per centimeter step by step
- Enter the value in kV/m (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 10, because 1 kV/m = 10 V/cm.
- The product is the value in V/cm. To go back, divide by 10 or multiply by 0.1.

- Dividing when you should multiply: from kV/m to V/cm multiply by 10; from V/cm to kV/m divide by 10.
Kilovolts per meter to Volts per centimeter FAQ
How many V/cm are in 1 kV/m?
1 kV/m equals 10 V/cm.
How many kV/m are in 1 V/cm?
1 V/cm equals 0.1 kV/m.
Is 1 kV/m = 10 V/cm an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (10). The calculator above uses more digits.
What is a kilovolt per meter (kV/m)?
Kilovolt per metre, 1,000 V/m.
How can I estimate kilovolts per meter to volts per centimeter in my head?
One kV/m is 10 times as large as one V/cm, so your number gets bigger when you convert kilovolts per meter to volts per centimeter and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
What is 25 kV/m in volts per centimeter?
25 kV/m = 250 V/cm (since 25 × 10).
What is 80 kV/m in volts per centimeter?
80 kV/m = 800 V/cm (since 80 × 10).
What is 500 kV/m in volts per centimeter?
500 kV/m = 5,000 V/cm (since 500 × 10).
How many decimals should I keep when converting kV/m to V/cm?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 100 V/cm rounds to 100 V/cm at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
