Energy-Force Relationship

1 eV = 1.602176565e-19 J
eV = Electron Volts
J = Joules

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 ร— 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.
