eV to Joule Converter

The Conversion Formula

The formula for converting electron-volts (eV) to joules (J) is:

\[J = eV \times 1.602176634 \times 10^{-19}\]

Where:

• J: Joules
• eV: Electron-volts
• 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹: The conversion factor from eV to J

Conversion Steps

1. Start with the amount of energy in electron-volts (eV)
2. Multiply the eV value by 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹
3. The result is the equivalent energy in joules (J)

Example Conversion

Let's convert 1 eV to joules:

\[J = 1 eV \times 1.602176634 \times 10^{-19} = 1.602176634 \times 10^{-19} J\]
