Electron Volt To Kilocalorie (Ev To Kcal) Converter

The Electron Volt to Kilocalorie (eV to kcal) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert energy measurements from electron volts (eV) to kilocalories (kcal). This is useful in fields like physics, chemistry, and nutrition where different units of energy are used.

An electron volt (eV) is a small unit of energy commonly used in atomic and particle physics. It is defined as the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. Mathematically, 1 eV equals approximately 1.602176634 x 10^-19 joules.

A kilocalorie (kcal), often simply called a “calorie” in dietary contexts, is a larger unit of energy used to measure the energy content of food. One kilocalorie equals 1,000 calories, and in terms of joules, 1 kcal is approximately 4,184 joules.

To convert from electron volts to kilocalories, you can use the following formula:
kcal = (eV × 1.602176634 x 10^-19) / 4,184 × 1,000
which simplifies to:
kcal = eV × 3.839 x 10^-23

Simply input the energy value in electron volts into the converter, and it will calculate the equivalent energy in kilocalories for you. This makes it easy to switch between these units without manual calculations, saving you time and reducing errors.
