Understanding MEV to Kilojoule Conversion

What is a Megaelectronvolt (MEV)?

A megaelectronvolt (MEV) is a unit of energy equal to one million electronvolts, commonly used in nuclear physics and particle physics. It represents the energy gained by a particle with elementary charge accelerated through a potential difference of one million volts.

What is a Kilojoule (kJ)?

A kilojoule (kJ) is a metric unit of energy equal to 1,000 joules. One joule is the energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. Kilojoules are commonly used to measure energy in physics, food science, and engineering.

Conversion Formula

To convert from MEV to kJ, use the following formula:

kJ = MEV ÷ 6.2415E+15
