Kiloelectronvolt to erg converter (kev to erg)

Conversion Formula

1 kev = 1.60e-9 erg

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kiloelectronvolt = 1.60e-16 joules
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kev = (1.60e-16 J) / (1.00e-7 J/erg) = 1.60e-9 erg
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kev by 1.60e-9 to get the equivalent in erg

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kev to erg:

5 kev × 1.60e-9 = 8.01e-9 erg
