Calculation Info

The Electron Volt To Therm (Ev To Thm) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you convert energy measurements from electron volts (eV) to therms (Thm). Understanding these units can be useful in fields like physics, chemistry, and energy management.

An electron volt (eV) is a unit of energy commonly used in atomic and particle physics. It represents the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. The formula for electron volt is:

1 eV = 1.602176634 × 10-19 joules

A therm (Thm) is a unit of heat energy used primarily in the United States for measuring natural gas consumption. One therm equals 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs). The conversion from joules to therms is based on the relationship:

1 therm = 105,505,600 joules

To convert energy from electron volts to therms, you first convert electron volts to joules, then convert joules to therms using the formulas provided. The overall conversion formula is:

Energy in therms = (Energy in eV × 1.602176634 × 10-19) / 105,505,600

This tool simplifies the process, allowing you to input a value in electron volts and instantly see the equivalent energy in therms, making it easier to work across different measurement systems.
