What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate electric field strength values between the volt per centimeter (V/cm) unit used in modern SI contexts and the abvolt per centimeter (abV/cm), a unit from the older CGS-EMU system. This is useful for comparing new measurements with historical data or specialized literature.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electric field strength value in volt per centimeter (V/cm)
  • Select volt/centimeter as the input unit and abvolt/centimeter as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to receive the equivalent value in abvolt/centimeter
  • Use the result to interpret or compare data across different electromagnetic unit systems

Key Features

  • Converts electric field strength from V/cm to abV/cm effortlessly
  • Handles units associated with high-voltage engineering and plasma physics
  • Supports translation of legacy CGS-EMU electromagnetic data to SI units
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring software installation

Examples

  • 2 V/cm converts to 200000000 abV/cm
  • 0.5 V/cm converts to 50000000 abV/cm

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying dielectric breakdown and gap breakdown parameters in electrical engineering
  • Analyzing field gradients in plasma and gas-discharge experiments
  • Converting historical electric field strength values for comparison with contemporary measurements
  • Expressing electric field strengths in older CGS-EMU electromagnetic literature contexts

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure unit consistency when comparing data from different measurement systems
  • Be cautious of numerical errors when converting very large or small values
  • Use this tool to bridge understanding between modern SI and legacy CGS units
  • Verify input values carefully to maintain accuracy in conversions

Limitations

  • The abvolt/centimeter unit is largely obsolete and infrequently used today
  • Conversion involves very large numeric factors, which may cause rounding issues
  • Value comparisons require careful attention due to differing dimensional conventions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the volt per centimeter unit used for?
Volt per centimeter measures electric field strength and is commonly used in high-voltage engineering, plasma physics, and insulation testing.

Why convert volts per centimeter to abvolts per centimeter?
Conversions help interpret historical CGS-EMU electromagnetic data and compare it with modern SI measurements.

Are the abvolt per centimeter units still used in modern practice?
No, the abvolt per centimeter unit is largely obsolete and mostly appears in older scientific literature.

Key Terminology

Volt per centimeter (V/cm)
An electric field strength unit equal to one volt of potential difference per centimeter, used in modern SI measurements.
Abvolt per centimeter (abV/cm)
An electric field strength unit from the CGS-EMU system, defined as one abvolt per centimeter, now largely obsolete.
Electric Field Strength
The force experienced per unit charge in an electric field, commonly expressed in volts per unit distance.
