Volts per meter to kilovolts per meter

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

0.001kV/m

Nothing on our list is smaller: fair weather at ground level is 100× stronger. Across a 1 mm gap that would need about 0.001 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/m to kV/m

To convert volts per meter to kilovolts per meter, multiply by 0.001.

Example: 1 V/m × 0.001 = 0.001 kV/m.

In the other direction, 1 kV/m = 1,000 V/m.
