volt per millimeter to megavolt per meter
Convert volt per millimeter (V/mm) to megavolt per meter (MV/m). Use an editable electric field strength converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 V/mm = 0.001 MV/m
Conversion formula
One volt per millimeter equals 0.001 megavolt per meter. Multiply your value in volt per millimeter by this factor to get megavolt per meter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 volt per millimeter:5 × 0.001 = 0.005 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 volt per millimeter is 1,000 base units; one megavolt per meter is 1,000,000 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 V/mm to MV/m?
Multiply the quantity in V/mm by 0.001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the megavolt per meter to volt per millimeter converter.
