Kiloelectronvolt to Calorie Converter
Understanding Energy Conversion
What is a Kiloelectronvolt (keV)?
A kiloelectronvolt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electronvolts. It's commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics to measure the energy of particles and radiation.
What is a Calorie (cal)?
A calorie is a unit of energy equal to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Note that this is different from the food Calorie (kcal), which is 1,000 times larger.
Conversion Formula
To convert from kiloelectronvolts to calories:
Calories = Kiloelectronvolts ÷ 2.6114E+16
