Electron-volt To Kilocalorie Converter

Efficiently Transform Energy Units: From eV to kcal_th

Discover the ease of converting energy from electron-volts (eV) to kilocalories (kcal_th) with our quick and accurate tool, designed to simplify your calculations.

What are Electron-volt and Kilocalorie

An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602×10^-19 joules. It's defined as the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt.

A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy commonly used to express the amount of energy that foods will provide to the human body. One kilocalorie is equivalent to 1,000 small calories and is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.

History of Electron-volt and Kilocalorie

The concept of converting electron-volts (eV) to kilocalories (kcal_th) stems from the need to relate small-scale energy measurements typically used in physics to larger units more common in chemistry and nutrition.
