What is the relationship between newton per coulomb and millivolt per meter?

One newton per coulomb is equal to one volt per meter, and since one millivolt per meter is one thousandth of a volt per meter, 1 N/C equals 1000 mV/m.

Why convert from N/C to mV/m?

Converting to millivolt per meter allows for expressing electric field strength in smaller units, which is useful for measuring low-level fields or calibrating sensitive equipment.

Can I use this conversion for strong electric fields?

While it is possible, millivolt per meter units are generally better suited for weak fields due to precision and sensitivity considerations.
