What does 1 newton per coulomb represent?

It is the SI unit of electric field strength representing the force experienced by a 1 coulomb positive charge in newtons.

Why convert newton per coulomb to volt per inch?

Conversion is useful for applications using imperial units, such as high-voltage insulation ratings and equipment spacing measured in inches.

Is the conversion factor always exact?

The factor assumes uniform fields and converts directly; however, actual conditions may require more nuanced calculations.
