Understanding Electronvolt to Megajoule Conversion
What is an Electronvolt (eV)?
An electronvolt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602176634×10⁻¹⁹ joules. It represents the energy gained by a single electron accelerating through a potential difference of one volt in a vacuum.
What is a Megajoule (MJ)?
A megajoule (MJ) is equal to one million (10⁶) joules. It's commonly used to measure larger amounts of energy, such as food energy content, electrical power consumption, and explosive force.
Conversion Formula
To convert from electronvolts to megajoules:
1 eV = 1.6022 × 10⁻²⁵ MJ
