Volts per meter to Kilovolts per meter examples
1 V/m
1 V/m × 0.001 = 0.001 kV/m.
10 V/m
10 V/m × 0.001 = 0.01 kV/m.
100 V/m
100 V/m × 0.001 = 0.1 kV/m.
Volts per meter compared with Kilovolts per meter
One kV/m is 1,000 times as large as one V/m, so your number gets smaller when you convert volts per meter 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 meter and kilovolts per meter
Volt per meter (V/m): The SI unit of electric field strength. Kilovolt per meter (kV/m): Kilovolt per metre, 1,000 V/m.
How to calculate Volts per meter to Kilovolts per meter step by step
- Enter the value in V/m (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 0.001, because 1 V/m = 0.001 kV/m.
- The product is the value in kV/m. To go back, divide by 0.001 or multiply by 1,000.

Volts per meter to Kilovolts per meter FAQ
How many kV/m are in 1 V/m?
1 V/m equals 0.001 kV/m.
How many V/m are in 1 kV/m?
1 kV/m equals 1,000 V/m.
Is 1 V/m = 0.001 kV/m an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (0.001). 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 volts per meter to kilovolts per meter in my head?
One kV/m is 1,000 times as large as one V/m, so your number gets smaller when you convert volts per meter 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 80 V/m in kilovolts per meter?
80 V/m = 0.08 kV/m (since 80 × 0.001).
What is 500 V/m in kilovolts per meter?
500 V/m = 0.5 kV/m (since 500 × 0.001).
What is 15 V/m in kilovolts per meter?
15 V/m = 0.015 kV/m (since 15 × 0.001).
How many decimals should I keep when converting V/m to kV/m?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 0.01 kV/m rounds to 0.01 kV/m at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
