Megaelectronvolt to joule converter (mev to j)

Conversion Formula

1 mev = 1.60e-13 j

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megaelectronvolt = 1.60e-13 joules
   1 Joule = 1.000 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mev = (1.60e-13 J) / (1.000 J/j) = 1.60e-13 j
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mev by 1.60e-13 to get the equivalent in j

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mev to j:

5 mev × 1.60e-13 = 8.01e-13 j
