Kiloelectronvolt to joule converter (kev to j)

Conversion Formula

1 kev = 1.60e-16 j

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kiloelectronvolt = 1.60e-16 joules
   1 Joule = 1.000 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kev = (1.60e-16 J) / (1.000 J/j) = 1.60e-16 j
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kev by 1.60e-16 to get the equivalent in j

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kev to j:

5 kev × 1.60e-16 = 8.01e-16 j
