1000 V/m = 1 kV/m
What is Electric Field Strength?
Electric field strength is how strong an electric force is in a space. Think of it like the power of an invisible force that can push or pull electric charges. The stronger the field, the more force it puts on charges.
Our electric field strength converter helps you change between units like V/m, kV/m, and N/C. This electrical converter is perfect for students, engineers, and anyone working with physics calculations.
The V/m converter (volts per meter) is the main unit. The kV/m converter (kilovolts per meter) is used for stronger fields. This physics calculator and engineering tool makes all conversions simple and fast.

Electric Field Strength Formulas Made Simple
Basic Formula
E = F/q
E means field strength, F means force, q means charge
Example: If F = 0.001N and q = 1×10⁻⁶C, then E = 1000 V/m
Easy Unit Changes
1 kV/m = 1,000 V/m
1 V/cm = 100 V/m
1 V/m = 1 N/C

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between V/m and kV/m?
V/m (volts per meter) is the basic unit for electric field strength. kV/m (kilovolts per meter) is 1,000 times bigger. Our V/m converter and kV/m converter help you switch between them easily.
How do I use this electrical converter?
Just type your number, pick your starting unit, choose what you want to convert to, and see the answer instantly. This physics calculator works for all common field strength units.
Why is electric field strength important?
Electric field strength tells us how much force electric charges feel in a space. It helps design safe electrical systems, protect from lightning, and make electronic devices work properly.
What creates strong electric fields?
Lightning creates very strong fields. Power lines, batteries, and electronic devices also make electric fields. The stronger the voltage and closer you are, the stronger the field.
