Kiloelectronvolt to megajoule converter (kev to mj)

Conversion Formula

1 kev = 1.60e-13 mj

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kiloelectronvolt = 1.60e-16 joules
   1 Megajoule = 0.001000 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kev = (1.60e-16 J) / (0.001000 J/mj) = 1.60e-13 mj
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kev by 1.60e-13 to get the equivalent in mj

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kev to mj:

5 kev × 1.60e-13 = 8.01e-13 mj
