Why convert from millivolt per meter to abvolt per centimeter?

This conversion is useful for comparing modern SI electric field measurements with historical data recorded in the CGS‑EMU system, aiding analysis across different unit conventions.

What is the conversion factor from mV/m to abV/cm?

One millivolt per meter equals 1000 abvolts per centimeter according to the defined conversion rate.

Is abvolt per centimeter still widely used?

No, the abvolt per centimeter is considered largely obsolete and is infrequently used in current scientific practice.
