Electronvolt to British thermal unit converter (ev to btu)

Conversion Formula

1 ev = 1.52e-22 btu

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Electronvolt = 1.60e-19 joules
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 ev = (1.60e-19 J) / (1.06k J/btu) = 1.52e-22 btu
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in ev by 1.52e-22 to get the equivalent in btu

Example Conversion

Convert 5 ev to btu:

5 ev × 1.52e-22 = 7.59e-22 btu
