What does microvolt per meter [µ/m] measure?

It measures very low amplitude electric field strength as the potential difference in microvolts across one meter, useful for detecting weak electromagnetic fields.

Why convert microvolt per meter to newton per coulomb?

Converting to newton per coulomb expresses electric field strength as force per unit charge in the SI system, facilitating calculations in electrostatics and electromagnetic applications.

Are the converted values easy to measure?

No, since microvolt per meter values are extremely small, the converted newton per coulomb values are also very low and require sensitive instruments for accurate measurement.
