Volts per centimeter to volts per meter
Type a value in V/cm to get it in V/m instantly.
100V/m
That's about the same as fair weather at ground level. Across a 1 mm gap that would need about 0.1 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 V/cm to V/m
To convert volts per centimeter to volts per meter, multiply by 100.
Example: 1 V/cm × 100 = 100 V/m.
In the other direction, 1 V/m = 0.01 V/cm.
