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

Volts per centimeter to Kilovolts per meter FAQ
How many kV/m are in 1 V/cm?
1 V/cm equals 0.1 kV/m.
How many V/cm are in 1 kV/m?
1 kV/m equals 10 V/cm.
Is 1 V/cm = 0.1 kV/m an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (0.1). The calculator above uses more digits.
What is a volt per centimeter (V/cm)?
Volt per centimetre, 100 V/m.
How can I estimate volts per centimeter to kilovolts per meter in my head?
One kV/m is 10 times as large as one V/cm, so your number gets smaller when you convert volts per centimeter to kilovolts per meter and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
What is 75 V/cm in kilovolts per meter?
75 V/cm = 7.5 kV/m (since 75 × 0.1).
What is 300 V/cm in kilovolts per meter?
300 V/cm = 30 kV/m (since 300 × 0.1).
What is 12 V/cm in kilovolts per meter?
12 V/cm = 1.2 kV/m (since 12 × 0.1).
How many decimals should I keep when converting V/cm to kV/m?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 1 kV/m rounds to 1 kV/m at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
