Volts per meter to Volts per centimeter formula and what each symbol means
V/cm = V/m × 0.01
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| V/m | Volt per meter |
| V/cm | Volt per centimeter |
Volts per meter to Volts per centimeter examples
1 V/m
1 V/m × 0.01 = 0.01 V/cm.
10 V/m
10 V/m × 0.01 = 0.1 V/cm.
100 V/m
100 V/m × 0.01 = 1 V/cm.
Volts per meter compared with Volts per centimeter
One V/cm is 100 times as large as one V/m, so your number gets smaller when you convert volts per meter to volts 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 volts per centimeter
Volt per meter (V/m): The SI unit of electric field strength. Volt per centimeter (V/cm): Volt per centimetre, 100 V/m.
How to calculate Volts per meter to Volts per centimeter step by step
- Enter the value in V/m (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 0.01, because 1 V/m = 0.01 V/cm.
- The product is the value in V/cm. To go back, divide by 0.01 or multiply by 100.

Common mistakes when calculating Volts per meter to Volts per centimeter
- Mixing V/m and V/cm, which differ by 100.
- Dividing when you should multiply: from V/m to V/cm multiply by 0.01; from V/cm to V/m divide by 0.01.
Volts per meter to Volts per centimeter FAQ
How many V/cm are in 1 V/m?
1 V/m equals 0.01 V/cm.
How many V/m are in 1 V/cm?
1 V/cm equals 100 V/m.
Is 1 V/m = 0.01 V/cm an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (0.01). 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 meter to volts per centimeter in my head?
One V/cm is 100 times as large as one V/m, so your number gets smaller when you convert volts per meter to volts 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 0.5 V/m in volts per centimeter?
0.5 V/m = 0.005 V/cm (since 0.5 × 0.01).
What is 25 V/m in volts per centimeter?
25 V/m = 0.25 V/cm (since 25 × 0.01).
What is 80 V/m in volts per centimeter?
80 V/m = 0.8 V/cm (since 80 × 0.01).
How many decimals should I keep when converting V/m to V/cm?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 0.1 V/cm rounds to 0.1 V/cm at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
