Convert energy from Joules (J) to Megaelectronvolts (MeV)

How to Convert Joules to Mega-electronvolts

To convert joules (J) to mega-electronvolts (MeV), you need to use the relationship between these units of energy. The electronvolt (eV) is a unit commonly used in particle physics, and 1 MeV = 1,000,000 eV.

Formula

MeV = J ร— 6.242 ร— 1012
MeV = Energy in mega-electronvolts
J = Energy in joules

Quick Trick: 1 Joule = 6.242 ร— 1012 MeV

Let’s Solve One Together

Imagine you have an energy measurement:

  • We measured: 1 joule

Here’s how we figure it out:

1. Take our formula: MeV = J ร— 6.242 ร— 1012

2. Put in 1 joule

3. MeV = 1 ร— 6.242 ร— 1012

Answer: 6.242 ร— 1012 MeV

Definitions of Key Terms

Mega-electronvolt (MeV)

A mega-electronvolt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in particle physics. It is equivalent to one million electronvolts and is useful for measuring energy levels of particles and photons.

Joule (J)

The joule is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the amount of energy transferred or work done. For example, 1 joule is the energy required to move a force of 1 newton over a distance of 1 meter.
