About Energy Conversion
What is a Gigajoule (GJ)?
A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billion (109) joules. It's commonly used to measure large amounts of energy in industrial and commercial applications. One gigajoule is approximately equal to:
- 277.778 kilowatt-hours (kWh)
- The energy of about 26 liters of gasoline
- The energy used by a typical household over 10 days
What is an Electronvolt (eV)?
An electronvolt (eV) is a very small 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 a potential difference of one volt. Electronvolts are commonly used in:
- Atomic physics
- Particle physics
- Semiconductor physics
