Calculation Info

The Electron Volt to Megajoule (eV to MJ) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert energy measurements from electron volts (eV) to megajoules (MJ). This is useful in fields like physics and engineering where different units are used to measure energy at various scales.

An electron volt (eV) is a 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 moves through an electric potential difference of one volt. Mathematically, 1 eV equals approximately 1.602 x 10-19 joules.

A megajoule (MJ) is a larger unit of energy used in engineering and energy calculations. It is equal to one million joules (1,000,000 J). Since the joule (J) is the standard SI unit of energy, converting from eV to MJ involves first converting eV to joules, then converting joules to megajoules.

The conversion formula from electron volts to megajoules is:
Energy in MJ = (Energy in eV) × 1.602 x 10-19 / 1,000,000.
This simplifies to:
Energy in MJ = (Energy in eV) × 1.602 x 10-25.

Using this converter, you can input the energy value in electron volts, and it will automatically calculate the equivalent energy in megajoules, making it easier to work across different measurement systems.
