Electronvolt to erg converter (ev to erg)

Conversion Formula

1 ev = 1.60e-12 erg

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Electronvolt = 1.60e-19 joules
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 ev = (1.60e-19 J) / (1.00e-7 J/erg) = 1.60e-12 erg
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in ev by 1.60e-12 to get the equivalent in erg

Example Conversion

Convert 5 ev to erg:

5 ev × 1.60e-12 = 8.01e-12 erg
