millivolt per meter to kilovolt per meter
Convert millivolt per meter (mV/m) to kilovolt per meter (kV/m). Use an editable electric field strength converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 mV/m = 0.000001 kV/m
Conversion formula
One millivolt per meter equals 0.000001 kilovolt per meter. Multiply your value in millivolt per meter by this factor to get kilovolt per meter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 millivolt per meter:5 × 0.000001 = 0.000005 kV/m

About these measurements
Electric field strength is force per unit electric charge.
The base reference used here is the volt per meter. One millivolt per meter is 0.001 base units; one kilovolt per meter is 1,000 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 mV/m to kV/m?
Multiply the quantity in mV/m by 0.000001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the kilovolt per meter to millivolt per meter converter.
