Volts per meter to Kilovolts per centimeter formula and what each symbol means
kV/cm = V/m × 0.00001
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| V/m | Volt per meter |
| kV/cm | Kilovolt per centimeter |
Volts per meter to Kilovolts per centimeter examples
1 V/m
1 V/m × 0.00001 = 0.00001 kV/cm.
10 V/m
10 V/m × 0.00001 = 0.0001 kV/cm.
100 V/m
100 V/m × 0.00001 = 0.001 kV/cm.
Volts per meter compared with Kilovolts per centimeter
One kV/cm is 100,000 times as large as one V/m, so your number gets smaller when you convert volts per meter to kilovolts per centimeter and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
About volts per meter and kilovolts per centimeter
Volt per meter (V/m): The SI unit of electric field strength. Kilovolt per centimeter (kV/cm): Kilovolt per centimetre, 100,000 V/m.
How to calculate Volts per meter to Kilovolts per centimeter step by step
- Enter the value in V/m (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 0.00001, because 1 V/m = 0.00001 kV/cm.
- The product is the value in kV/cm. To go back, divide by 0.00001 or multiply by 100,000.

Volts per meter to Kilovolts per centimeter FAQ
How many kV/cm are in 1 V/m?
1 V/m equals 0.00001 kV/cm.
How many V/m are in 1 kV/cm?
1 kV/cm equals 100,000 V/m.
Is 1 V/m = 0.00001 kV/cm an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (0.00001). The calculator above uses more digits.
What is a kilovolt per centimeter (kV/cm)?
Kilovolt per centimetre, 100,000 V/m.
How can I estimate volts per meter to kilovolts per centimeter in my head?
One kV/cm is 100,000 times as large as one V/m, so your number gets smaller when you convert volts per meter to kilovolts per centimeter and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
What is 30 V/m in kilovolts per centimeter?
30 V/m = 0.0003 kV/cm (since 30 × 0.00001).
What is 150 V/m in kilovolts per centimeter?
150 V/m = 0.0015 kV/cm (since 150 × 0.00001).
What is 0.5 V/m in kilovolts per centimeter?
0.5 V/m = 0.000005 kV/cm (since 0.5 × 0.00001).
How many decimals should I keep when converting V/m to kV/cm?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 0.0001 kV/cm rounds to 0.0001 kV/cm at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
