About Volt per Meter (V/m)
The SI coherent derived unit of electric field strength, defined as a potential gradient of one volt across a distance of one meter (E = -dV / dx). Exactly equivalent to one newton per coulomb (1 V/m = 1 N/C).
History: Emerged from potential theory developed by George Green and Michael Faradayβs lines of force concept.
Common Uses: RF electromagnetic radiation exposure safety limits (e.g. FCC/ICNIRP limits ~28β61 V/m), radio broadcast signal coverage maps.
About Volt per Centimeter (V/cm)
A metric laboratory unit of electric field strength equal to 100 V/m.
History: Standard unit in molecular biology gel electrophoresis and gas discharge tube testing.
Common Uses: Agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis migration rate specifications (typically 5β10 V/cm), semiconductor drift velocity.
β Frequently Asked Questions
How many Volts per Centimeter are in 1 Volt per Meter?
There are exactly 0.01 Volts per Centimeter in 1 Volt per Meter (1 V/m = 0.01 V/cm).
What is the formula to convert Volt per Meter to Volt per Centimeter?
The formula is: Volt per Centimeter = Volt per Meter / 100. Since 1 Volt per Centimeter = 100 Volts per Meter, divide the value in Volts per Meter by 100.
How do I convert 1 V/m to V/cm manually?
To convert 1 V/m to V/cm: apply the formula Volt per Centimeter = Volt per Meter / 100. Substituting gives: 1 / 100 = 0.01 V/cm.
