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.
