kilovolt per meter to millivolt per meter
Convert kilovolt per meter (kV/m) to millivolt per meter (mV/m). Use an editable electric field strength converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 kV/m = 1,000,000 mV/m
Conversion formula
One kilovolt per meter equals 1,000,000 millivolt per meter. Multiply your value in kilovolt per meter by this factor to get millivolt per meter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 kilovolt per meter:5 × 1,000,000 = 5,000,000 mV/m

About these measurements
Electric field strength is force per unit electric charge.
The base reference used here is the volt per meter. One kilovolt per meter is 1,000 base units; one millivolt per meter is 0.001 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert kV/m to mV/m?
Multiply the quantity in kV/m by 1,000,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the millivolt per meter to kilovolt per meter converter.
