What Is This Tool?

This online converter allows you to translate electric field strength units from statvolt per centimeter (stV/cm), used mainly in theoretical and historical contexts, to volt per centimeter (V/cm), the unit commonly used in practical engineering and laboratory settings.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electric field value in statvolt per centimeter (stV/cm).
  • Select the input unit as statvolt/centimeter [stV/cm].
  • Choose the output unit as volt/centimeter [V/cm].
  • Click convert to see the corresponding value in volts per centimeter.
  • Review the result and use it for your application or analysis.

Key Features

  • Converts electric field strength units between CGS electrostatic and SI-derived systems.
  • Uses the precise conversion factor: 1 stV/cm equals 299.7919999934 V/cm.
  • Supports translating values for use in plasma physics, high-voltage engineering, and astrophysics.
  • Includes clear conversion examples for ease of understanding.
  • Browser-based with straightforward input and output for quick conversions.

Examples

  • 2 stV/cm converts to 599.5839999868 V/cm by multiplying 2 by 299.7919999934.
  • 0.5 stV/cm converts to 149.8959999967 V/cm by multiplying 0.5 by 299.7919999934.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting electric field measurements from CGS-ESU used in theoretical electrodynamics to SI units for comparison.
  • Interpreting electric field data reported in historical or astrophysics literature employing CGS measurements.
  • Specifying electric field strength levels for insulation testing, plasma experiments, and high-voltage engineering tasks.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you understand the context of the units—CGS versus SI—when performing conversions.
  • Use this converter to accurately translate values before applying them to modern engineering or experimental setups.
  • Check your input values carefully to maintain numerical precision when dealing with historical datasets.

Limitations

  • The statvolt/centimeter unit is inherently linked to the CGS electrostatic system, which differs fundamentally from the SI system.
  • Conversions require careful consideration of the underlying unit systems to avoid misinterpretation.
  • Numerical exactness is important when converting historical values to ensure meaningful comparison with contemporary measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is converting statvolt/centimeter to volt/centimeter important?
