Electronvolt to Kilowatt-Hour Converter
Convert electronvolts (eV) to kilowatt-hours (kWh) with this free calculator
Understanding Energy Conversion
What is an Electronvolt (eV)?
An electronvolt is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ 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 Kilowatt-Hour (kWh)?
A kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy equal to 3.6 megajoules. It's commonly used for measuring electrical energy consumption in homes and businesses. One kWh represents the energy used by a 1,000-watt device running for one hour.
Conversion Formula
To convert from electronvolts to kilowatt-hours, use the following formula:
kWh = eV × 4.4505E-26
Common Applications
This conversion is particularly useful in:
- Particle physics research
- Nuclear energy calculations
