All available electric-field-strength units for conversion:

Electric Field Strength

Electric field strength measures force per unit charge. Critical for insulation design, high voltage systems, and understanding electromagnetic phenomena.

Field Fundamentals

Electric field (E) in volts per meter (V/m) or newtons per coulomb (N/C). Force that would act on unit positive charge.

Breakdown Voltages

Air breakdown: ~3 MV/m, Paper: ~16 MV/m, Transformer oil: ~24 MV/m. Insulators fail above critical field strength.

Practical Applications

High voltage equipment design requires field calculations. Lightning rods work by concentrating electric fields.

Common Applications

High voltage equipment design, insulation coordination, lightning protection, and electromagnetic compatibility.

Conversion Tips

Air sparks at ~3 MV/m. Capacitor design limited by dielectric breakdown. Sharp points concentrate electric fields.
