Statvolt per centimeter quick reference
| Statvolt per centimeter | Kilovolt per millimeter | Volt per mil | Volt per meter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 statV/cm | = 0.0299792458 kV/mm | = 0.76147284332 V/mil | = 29979.2458 V/m |
| 10 statV/cm | = 0.299792458 kV/mm | = 7.6147284332 V/mil | = 299792.458 V/m |
| 100 statV/cm | = 2.99792458 kV/mm | = 76.147284332 V/mil | = 2997924.58 V/m |
| 1000 statV/cm | = 29.9792458 kV/mm | = 761.47284332 V/mil | = 29979245.8 V/m |
Where the statvolt per centimeter fits
The next smaller electric field strength unit is the kilovolt per meter (kV/m). 1 statV/cm = 29.9792458 kV/m, and 1 kV/m ≈ 0.03335640952 statV/cm.
The next larger electric field strength unit is the volt per mil (V/mil). 1 statV/cm = 0.76147284332 V/mil, and 1 V/mil ≈ 1.313244469 statV/cm.
