What is Electron-volts to volts calculator
The electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy commonly used in physics and related fields. It represents the amount of kinetic energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt (V).
To convert electron-volts (eV) to volts (V), you can use the following formula:
Volts (V) = Electron-volts (eV) / 1
Since 1 eV is equivalent to exactly 1 volt, the conversion is straightforward.
For example, if you have a value of 10 electron-volts, you can convert it to volts as follows:
Volts (V) = 10 eV / 1 Volts (V) = 10 V
In this case, 10 electron-volts is equal to 10 volts.
It's important to note that electron-volts and volts are both units of energy, but they represent different quantities. Electron-volts are commonly used in particle physics and quantum mechanics to describe the energy of subatomic particles, while volts are used to measure electric potential or voltage in electrical systems.
eV to volts calculation with elementary charge
The voltage V in volts (V) is equal to the energy E in electron-volts (eV), divided by the electric charge Q in elementary charge or proton/electron charge (e):
V(V) = E(eV) / Q(e)
eV to volts to calculation with coulombs
The voltage V in volts (V) is equal to 1.602176565×10-19 times the energy E in electron-volts (eV), divided by the electrical charge Q in coulombs (C):
V(V) = 1.602176565×10-19 × E(eV) / Q(C)
Electron-volts to volts calculator Example
To convert electron-volts (eV) to volts (V), you can use the conversion factor of 1 eV = 1.602176634 × 10^-19 V. Here's an example that demonstrates the calculation:
Let's assume you have a value of energy in electron-volts, such as 1000 eV, and you want to convert it to volts.
Voltage (V) = Energy (eV) × Conversion Factor (V/eV) = 1000 eV × 1.602176634 × 10^-19 V/eV ≈ 1.602176634 × 10^-16 V
Therefore, the equivalent voltage in volts for 1000 electron-volts would be approximately 1.602176634 × 10^-16 volts.
Please note that electron-volt is a unit of energy commonly used in atomic and subatomic physics, whereas volt is a unit of electric potential or voltage. The conversion factor used is derived from the fundamental charge of an electron.
