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.

What does newtons divided by coulombs equal?

That's the unit for the electric field. The SI units for electric field are, precisely, newtons/coulomb - or the equivalent, volts/meter. This unit doesn't have a special name.

The SI unit of measure for electric charge is the Coulomb (C).


The SI unit of electric current is?

The SI unit of electric current is the ampere. While it is an SI base unit, it can also be considered to be a combined unit, coulombs per second.


What is the SI unit for an electric resistance?

The SI unit for electric resistance is the ohm, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ξ©).


What is the SI units of electric flux?

An electric field is a region around a charged particle within which a force would be exerted on other charged particles. Presumably, therefore, the field is a measure of the volume of space in which the presence of the electric charge can be felt and so is measured in cubic centimetres, cubic metres or related units.


What is the unit of the magnetic field?

the unit of magnetic field is tesla (si unit ) and gauss (cgs ) unit.1 tesla = 10,000 gauss .1 tesla= 1N/mAAnswerIt depends on what you mean by 'magnetic field'. If you mean 'magnetic flux', then the SI unit is the weber(pronounced 'vay-ber'). If you mean 'magnetic flux density', then the SI unit is the tesla. If you mean 'magnetic field strength', then the SI unit is the ampere per metre.


What is the SI base unit for electric current?

ampere


What are the SI units of EMI?

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).
