Kilovolt per meter to volt per centimeter Conversion
1 kilovolt per meter (kV/m) is equal to 10 volt per centimeter (V/cm).
1 kV/m = 10 V/cm
or
1 V/cm = 0.1 kV/m
Formula
To convert a electric field strength from kilovolt per meter (kV/m) to volt per centimeter (V/cm), multiply the electric field strength in kilovolt per meter by 10
e(V/cm) = e(kV/m) × 10
Examples:
Convert 50 kilovolt per meter to volt per centimeter:
e(V/cm) = 50kV/m × 10 = 500 V/cm

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert kilovolt per meter to volt per centimeter?
Multiply the value in kilovolt per meter by 10 to get the result in volt per centimeter. For example, 5 kV/m × 10 = 50 V/cm.
How many volt per centimeter are in 1 kilovolt per meter?
1 kilovolt per meter (kV/m) is equal to 10 volt per centimeter (V/cm).
How do I convert volt per centimeter back to kilovolt per meter?
Use the inverse operation: divide the value in volt per centimeter by 10 to get the result in kilovolt per meter.
How accurate is the kilovolt per meter to volt per centimeter conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 10 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
