  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Electric field = voltage difference/separation.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using voltage = 12 V, plate separation = 0.01 m, the result is 1200 V/m. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Ideal-component calculation for study and estimation. It does not select safe wiring, protective devices or component ratings for an installation.
