eV to joules conversion

Electron volts to joules conversion

It is used to convert the energy in electron volts (eV) to energy in joules (J). This conversion calculator is convenient because of its simplicity and ability to convert the values with a single click. It has the ‘Convert' and ‘Reset' control buttons that complete the conversion and erases the previous calculations respectively. It has a single text field where you will enter the energy in electron volts before initiating the calculation using the ‘Convert' button. The result in joules is always displayed below the two controls. The accuracy of the results usually depends on the correct values entered in the text fields.

Formula of converting electron volts to joules

E (J) = E (eV) x 1.602176565.10-19, which means that the energy in joules is calculated by multiplying the energy in electron volts by 1.602176565.10-19

It can also be expressed as;

1 eV = 1.602176565e-19 J = 1.602176565.10-19 J, which means that one electron volt is equivalent to 1.602176565e-19 J or 1.602176565.10-19 J.

For example,

If the energy in electron volts is given as 25000 (eV), what is the energy in joules?

Solution

25000 (eV) x 1.602176565.10-19 = 4.0054414125e-15 joules (J)

The same procedure can always be repeated when you have a variety of values that need to be converted. This calculator majorly deals with conversions from electron volts to energy in joules. It is always important to be keen while entering the values in the open text field since the converter gives accurate results depending on the input.

The fact that the calculator is free makes it widely accessible, and you can use it at any time. The electron volts to joules conversion calculator cannot convert multiple values at once. To perform new calculations, you can always erase the previous data using the ‘Reset' button.
