Kilovolts per meter to volts per meter

Type a value in kV/m to get it in V/m instantly.

1,000V/m

That's 2× as strong as near an appliance, while under a power line is 5× stronger. Across a 1 mm gap that would need about 1 V.

What it means

How strong is that field?

Air breaks down around 3 MV/m in dry conditions. Humidity, sharp points and dust all lower that figure.

The math

How to convert kV/m to V/m

To convert kilovolts per meter to volts per meter, multiply by 1,000.

Example: 1 kV/m × 1,000 = 1,000 V/m.

In the other direction, 1 V/m = 0.001 kV/m.
