Understanding Kiloelectronvolts and Electronvolts
Conversion Formula
To convert from kiloelectronvolts (keV) to electronvolts (eV), multiply by 1,000:
eV = keV × 1,000
What is an Electronvolt (eV)?
An electronvolt is a unit of energy equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron accelerating through an electric potential difference of one volt in vacuum. It's commonly used in atomic physics and particle physics.
What is a Kiloelectronvolt (keV)?
A kiloelectronvolt is equal to 1,000 electronvolts. It's frequently used in X-ray physics, radiation measurement, and nuclear physics when dealing with higher energy levels.
