Atomic unit of force to teranewton converter (au to TN)

Conversion Formula

1 au = 8.24e-20 TN

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Atomic unit of force = 8.24e-8 newtons
   1 Teranewton = 1,000,000,000,000 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 au = (8.24e-8 N) / (1,000,000,000,000 N/TN) = 8.24e-20 TN
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in au by 8.24e-20 to get the equivalent in TN

Example Conversion

Convert 5 au to TN:

5 au × 8.24e-20 = 4.12e-19 TN
