What are Statvolt/inch and Volt/centimeter

Definition of Statvolt/inch

Statvolt per inch (statV/in) is a unit of electric field strength in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of electromagnetic units. It represents the potential difference that would occur between two points separated by one inch in an electric field. One statvolt is equivalent to 299.792458 volts in the International System of Units (SI). This unit, while not commonly used in modern applications, serves as a useful tool for theoretical and educational purposes, particularly in the study of electrostatics and electromagnetic fields.

Definition of Volt/centimeter

Volt per centimeter (V/cm) is a unit of electric field strength that belongs to the International System of Units (SI). It quantifies the potential difference between two points that are one centimeter apart in an electric field. The volt per centimeter is widely used in various scientific and engineering fields, particularly in the analysis and design of electrical circuits and devices. By providing a clear measure of field intensity, this unit helps in assessing the behavior of charged particles and the influence of electric fields in different materials and environments.
