Kilovolt per millimeter quick reference
| Kilovolt per millimeter | Volt per mil | Volt per meter | Kilovolt per meter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kV/mm | = 25.4 V/mil | = 1000000 V/m | = 1000 kV/m |
| 10 kV/mm | = 254 V/mil | = 10000000 V/m | = 10000 kV/m |
| 100 kV/mm | = 2540 V/mil | = 100000000 V/m | = 100000 kV/m |
| 1000 kV/mm | = 25400 V/mil | = 1000000000 V/m | = 1000000 kV/m |
Where the kilovolt per millimeter fits
The next smaller electric field strength unit is the kilovolt per centimeter (kV/cm). 1 kV/mm = 10 kV/cm, and 1 kV/cm = 0.1 kV/mm.
