What Is This Tool?

This tool converts electric field strength measurements from kilovolt per inch (kV/in) to statvolt per centimeter (stV/cm). It helps translate values between engineering units used in high-voltage contexts and the CGS electrostatic unit system common in theoretical and historical physics.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electric field value in kilovolt per inch (kV/in)
  • Select kilovolt/inch as the source unit and statvolt/centimeter as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in statvolt per centimeter
  • Review the conversion result and use it for your specific application or analysis

Key Features

  • Converts values between non-SI kilovolt/inch and CGS statvolt/centimeter units
  • Supports electric field strength measurements used in high-voltage engineering and plasma physics
  • Provides quick, browser-based unit conversions with example calculations
  • Facilitates comparison of modern and historical electric field data across different unit systems

Examples

  • Convert 5 kV/in: 5 × 1.3132464756 = 6.566232378 statvolt/cm
  • Convert 0.1 kV/in: 0.1 × 1.3132464756 = 0.13132464756 statvolt/cm

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying dielectric strengths and clearance requirements for insulating materials in high-voltage equipment
  • Setting spark-gap voltages and applied fields during high-voltage laboratory tests
  • Performing theoretical calculations in plasma physics and electrodynamics using CGS units
  • Analyzing and converting historical or astrophysics electric field data recorded in CGS units

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always confirm unit contexts when converting between SI-derived and CGS systems to avoid confusion
  • Use this converter for consistent comparisons between modern engineering data and historical literature
  • Double-check input values for accuracy before conversion to maintain meaningful results
  • Be mindful of the non-SI nature of kilovolt/inch when reporting measurements internationally

Limitations

  • Conversions involve non-SI units and electromagnetic unit systems that differ in standards
  • Kilovolt/inch unit is less standardized on a global scale compared to statvolt/centimeter
  • Statvolt/centimeter is primarily used in theoretical and historical contexts, limiting practical everyday use
  • Precision issues may arise if unit use contexts are not clearly understood or specified

Frequently Asked Questions

What does kilovolt per inch (kV/in) measure?
Kilovolt per inch measures electric field strength as a potential difference of one kilovolt applied across one inch.

Where is statvolt per centimeter (stV/cm) mainly used?
