Unit Information
Volt_per_millimeter
A unit of electric field strength equal to 1000 volts per meter. Used in applications requiring precise measurement of high electric fields over very small distances, such as in microelectronics, nanoscale devices, and precision instrumentation. Essential for characterizing electric fields in miniaturized electronic components and high-voltage insulation systems.
Volt_per_meter
The SI derived unit of electric field strength, representing the electric field intensity that exerts a force of one newton on a charge of one coulomb. Defined as the potential difference of one volt between two points separated by one meter. Fundamental to electromagnetism for characterizing electric fields in capacitors, transmission lines, and electromagnetic wave propagation. Essential for electrical engineering, electrostatics, and semiconductor device physics.
Conversion Tips
- Remember to check your decimal places for accuracy.
- This conversion is commonly used in international applications.

Scientific Overview
An electric field is a physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other charged particles in the field. It is measured in volts per meter (V/m) and represents the electric force per unit charge.
Historical Background
The concept of the electric field was developed by Michael Faraday in the 19th century as a way to explain action at a distance. James Clerk Maxwell later mathematically formalized Faraday's ideas in his famous equations.
Real-World Applications
Capacitors
Electric fields store energy in the dielectric between capacitor plates.
Particle Accelerators
Electric fields accelerate charged particles to high velocities.
Medical Imaging
Electric field variations are used in EEG and EKG equipment.
Industrial Processes
Electric fields separate particles in electrostatic precipitators.
Semiconductor Technology
Electric fields control electron flow in transistors.
Interesting Facts
- Electric fields exist even when no charged particles are present to experience the force.
- Light is composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields propagating through space.
- The Earth has a natural electric field of about 100-150 V/m pointing downward.
- Electric fields can induce charges on conductors without physical contact.
- Atmospheric electric fields can exceed 10,000 V/m during thunderstorms.
