Why Convert Electronvolts to Joules?

Converting between electronvolts (eV) and joules (J) is one of the most common energy conversions. Whether for engineering, cooking, travel, or science, knowing how to quickly convert eV to J saves time and prevents errors.

Energy conversions from eV to J are crucial for dietitians, physicists, and engineers. In nutrition, understanding the link between calories and joules helps individuals manage their diet and energy intake effectively. In the power sector, converting between kilowatt-hours and British Thermal Units (BTU) is necessary for sizing heating and cooling systems for homes and offices. Physicists rely on precise energy unit conversions to calculate work, heat, and thermodynamic processes. Whether tracking fitness goals or analyzing home energy bills, accurate conversion empowers users to make better health and financial decisions.

How to Convert Electronvolts to Joules

To convert electronvolts to joules, use the following formula:

J = eV × 1.602177e-19

Example: 1 eV = 1.602177e-19 J

For example, 5 eV = 8.010883e-19 J, 10 eV = 1.602177e-18 J, and 100 eV = 1.602177e-17 J. For larger values, 1000 eV = 1.602177e-16 J. Conversely, 1 J = 6.241509e+18 eV. Our calculator above performs this conversion instantly with full precision — no rounding errors.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Calorie confusion: Food 'Calories' are actually kilocalories (kcal).
  • Joule scale: 1 kWh is 3.6 million Joules (orders of magnitude difference).
  • Power vs Energy: mixing up Watts (power) and Watt-hours (energy).

Pro Tips

  • Food labels: Learn to read kcal; average adult needs ~2000 kcal/day.
  • Battery capacity: Wh = V * Ah. Useful for comparing different voltage batteries.
  • Efficiency: Energy cannot be created/destroyed, only converted (with some loss as heat).

What is a Electronvolt?

A tiny unit of energy used in atomic physics.

Describes energy levels of particles.

What is a Joule?

The joule (J) is the SI derived unit of energy. Defined as the work done by a force of one newton displacing an object by one meter.

Joules are used in science and engineering to measure work, energy, and heat. In nutrition, kilojoules (kJ) are used in many countries instead of calories.
