Quad to Megaelectronvolt Converter
Understanding Quad to Megaelectronvolt Conversion
What is a Quad?
A quad is a unit of energy equal to one quadrillion (10¹⁵) BTUs (British Thermal Units). It's commonly used to measure large-scale energy consumption, particularly at national or global levels. One quad represents enough energy to power about 7 million homes for a year.
What is a Megaelectronvolt (MeV)?
A megaelectronvolt (MeV) is a unit of energy used in nuclear physics and particle physics. One MeV equals one million electron volts, representing the energy an electron gains when accelerated through a potential difference of one million volts.
Conversion Formula
To convert quads to megaelectronvolts:
MeV = Quads × 6.5851E+30
