Volts per Meter (V/m)

Definition

Volts per meter (V/m) is the unit used to measure electric field strength. It represents the amount of electric potential difference (voltage) experienced by a charge placed at a distance of one meter from a source.

Faraday's Law of Induction: Faraday's law states that a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) and thus creates an electric field.

Conductivity: Conductivity refers to how easily charges can flow through a material. It is measured in siemens per meter (S/m).
