Understanding Electronvolts and Kilojoules
What is an Electronvolt (eV)?
An electronvolt is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ joules. It represents the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron accelerating through an electric potential difference of one volt in vacuum.
What is a Kilojoule (kJ)?
A kilojoule is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 joules. It's commonly used in physics, chemistry, and everyday applications like measuring food energy content. One kilojoule is the amount of energy required to move an object with a force of one newton over a distance of one kilometer.
Conversion Formula
To convert from electronvolts to kilojoules, use the following formula:
1 eV = 1.6022 × 10⁻¹⁹ joules = 1.6022 × 10⁻²² kilojoules
