Kilovolt per meter to kilovolt per centimeter Conversion
1 kilovolt per meter (kV/m) is equal to 0.01 kilovolt per centimeter (kV/cm).
1 kV/m = 0.01 kV/cm
or
1 kV/cm = 100 kV/m
Formula
To convert a electric field strength from kilovolt per meter (kV/m) to kilovolt per centimeter (kV/cm), divide the electric field strength in kilovolt per meter by 100
e(kV/cm) = e(kV/m) / 100
Examples:
Convert 500 kilovolt per meter to kilovolt per centimeter:
e(kV/cm) = 500kV/m / 100 = 5 kV/cm

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert kilovolt per meter to kilovolt per centimeter?
Divide the value in kilovolt per meter by 100 to get the result in kilovolt per centimeter. For example, 5 kV/m ÷ 100 = 0.05 kV/cm.
How many kilovolt per centimeter are in 1 kilovolt per meter?
1 kilovolt per meter (kV/m) is equal to 0.01 kilovolt per centimeter (kV/cm).
How do I convert kilovolt per centimeter back to kilovolt per meter?
Use the inverse operation: multiply the value in kilovolt per centimeter by 100 to get the result in kilovolt per meter.
How accurate is the kilovolt per meter to kilovolt per centimeter conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 100 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
