Discover the convenience of converting energy units from electron-volts to gigawatt-hours with our precise eV to GWh tool, designed to simplify your calculations.
An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joules. It is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. This unit is commonly used in the field of atomic and particle physics, providing a convenient scale for measuring small energies.
Definition of Gigawatt-hourA gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy representing one billion (10⁹) watt-hours. It is used to measure large quantities of electrical energy, often in the context of electricity production or consumption by cities or large industries over a certain period, typically an hour. One GWh can power approximately 700,000 homes for an hour.
