Hi all

a more general question this time. About the units.

If I use the uniform electric field and set (for example) the z e-field to 6 kilovolt/cm when I interrogate the field using /field/getField it returns 0.0006 V/m which is a vast discrepancy. 6kV/cm = 6MV/m.

Whom do I trust?

with the command /units/list, you will see that 1kV/cm = 1e-04 G4 internal unit.
It seems that getField returns value in internal unit

Thanks maire1. That makes sense.
