  • The conversion assumes uniform electric fields and may not apply accurately to transient or highly non-uniform fields

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I convert volt/inch to volt/centimeter?
Converting between these units allows consistent expression of electric field strength when working across imperial and metric measurement systems, essential in engineering and scientific contexts.

What is the conversion rate from volt/inch to volt/centimeter?
One volt per inch equals approximately 0.3937007874 volts per centimeter.

Can this conversion be used for non-uniform electric fields?
The conversion assumes uniform electric fields and may not provide accurate results for highly non-uniform or transient field conditions.

Key Terminology

Volt per inch (V/in)
An imperial unit representing one volt of electric potential difference across one inch, used to measure electric field strength.
Volt per centimeter (V/cm)
An SI-derived unit equal to one volt across one centimeter, used to express electric field strength.
Electric field strength
A measurement of electric force per unit charge across a given distance, indicating the potential gradient.
