Volt per millimeter quick reference
| Volt per millimeter | Kilovolt per millimeter | Volt per mil | Volt per meter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 V/mm | = 0.001 kV/mm | = 0.0254 V/mil | = 1000 V/m |
| 10 V/mm | = 0.01 kV/mm | = 0.254 V/mil | = 10000 V/m |
| 100 V/mm | = 0.1 kV/mm | = 2.54 V/mil | = 100000 V/m |
| 1000 V/mm | = 1 kV/mm | = 25.4 V/mil | = 1000000 V/m |
Where the volt per millimeter fits
The next smaller electric field strength unit is the volt per centimeter (V/cm). 1 V/mm = 10 V/cm, and 1 V/cm = 0.1 V/mm.
The next larger electric field strength unit is the statvolt per centimeter (statV/cm). 1 V/mm ≈ 0.03335640952 statV/cm, and 1 statV/cm = 29.9792458 V/mm.
