Energy-Force Relationship
Quick Trick: To convert electron volts to joules, multiply by 1.602176565e-19!
Let’s Solve One Together
Imagine you have the following energy measurement:
- Energy: 10 eV
Here’s how we figure it out:
1. Take our conversion: 1 eV = 1.602176565e-19 J
2. Put in Energy = 10 eV
3. Calculate J = 10 × 1.602176565e-19
4. J = 1.602176565e-18 J
Answer: 1.602176565e-18 J
Definitions of Key Terms
Electron Volt (eV)
Electron volts are a standard unit of energy used to measure energy at the atomic and subatomic levels. One electron volt is the energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through a potential difference of 1 volt.
Joule (J)
Joules are a standard unit of energy used to measure energy, work, or heat. One joule is the energy needed to move a force of one newton over one meter.
