Volt per Inch

V/in

Definition

The Volt per Inch (V/in) equals approximately 39.37 volts per meter, providing a convenient imperial unit for measuring electric field strengths. This unit is commonly used in North American electrical engineering and applications using imperial measurements.

History/Origin

The volt per inch unit developed from the practical need to express electric field strengths in imperial units, particularly in North American electrical engineering. It became standard in applications where inch-scale measurements were more convenient than metric units.

Current Use

Volt per inch is commonly used in North American electrical engineering, electrical testing, and applications where imperial units are preferred. It is particularly useful in electrical equipment design and testing in the United States and Canada.
