What is statvolt per centimeter used for?

Statvolt per centimeter is primarily used in the CGS electrostatic unit system for theoretical electrodynamics, plasma physics, and interpreting older experimental data.

Why convert from statvolt/centimeter to volt/mil?

Converting to volt/mil translates electric field data into units more commonly employed in electronics and electrical engineering for specifying insulation and clearance requirements.

Is this conversion exact and precise?

While the conversion formula is defined, practical usage may involve rounding and requires context awareness due to differences between CGS and SI units.
