It's simply Volts per meter or V/m. Add the usual prefixes such as n,m,k,M,G as appropriate, just like with other SI units.
A good ordinary electrical insulator, such as the PVC on an electrical cable can withstand hundreds of kV/m or put another way, it isolates hundreds of V/mm of thickness and can safely keep its isolation strength for 30 to 50 years of continuous use inside the walls of your home. The insulators used inside compact electronics capacitors sustain even larger field strengths (they are much thinner to increase the electrical capacity), but don't guarantee the ability to safely sustain and isolate those field strengths for half a century of continuous use.
In open air a 100kV high voltage power line on top of 10 meter high poles would create a 10kV/m open air electrical field between itself and the ground below. Those are just some easy to work with numbers, real world power lines are larger or smaller than that.

The dimensions of the electric field in SI units are N/C (newtons per coulomb) or V/m (volts per meter). The electric field represents the force experienced by a unit positive charge at a given point in space.
The SI unit of electric charges is Coulombs (C), while the SI unit of electric potential is volts (V). Hence, the SI unit of EMI (Electromagnetic Induction) would be volts per second (V/s).
The SI unit for measuring a football field is meters.
Yes, the ampere is an SI base unit, one of the seven, and equals the passage of a Coulomb of charge per second. Its official definition has to do with force between current carrying wires though.
Oersted which is equal to 79.58 Am-1AnswerAn oersted is an obsolete (cgsA) unit of measurement for flux density, not magnetic field strength. The SI unit is the ampere per metre.
The SI unit of electricity is the ampere (A), which measures electric current. Other related units include the volt (V) for electric potential difference and the ohm (Ω) for electrical resistance.
