Electric Field Strength Converter

About This Tool

This Electric Field Strength Converter is a specialized tool for physics and electrical engineering. It converts units of electric field strength (E-field), which describes the intensity of an electric field at a particular point. An electric field is a vector field surrounding an electric charge that exerts force on other charges. The base unit is volts per meter (V/m).

This tool is essential for solving problems in electrostatics, designing capacitors, and understanding electromagnetic wave propagation.

Tips & Features

• The V/m Standard: The volt per meter (V/m) is the SI unit for electric field strength. It is equivalent to newtons per coulomb (N/C), which describes the force experienced per unit of charge within the field.
• Dielectric Strength: Electric field strength is used to measure the dielectric strength of materials—the maximum electric field a material can withstand without breaking down and becoming conductive. This is often measured in kilovolts per millimeter (kV/mm).
