Discover the precision of the Electron-volt to Kiloton Converter, a tool designed to seamlessly translate eV to kt units. Curated by Newtum, this page is your gateway to accurate energy conversions.
An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joules. It's the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. The electron-volt is a convenient unit for energy levels in physics, particularly in atomic and particle physics.
Definition of KilotonA kiloton (kt) is a unit of energy commonly used to describe the energy released in an explosion. One kiloton is equivalent to the energy released by 1,000 tons of TNT. It's often used in military contexts and in discussions about nuclear weapon yields, where the energies involved are immense.

1 kt = 6.242 x 10^18 eV
Example 1:
Convert 1 x 10^12 eV to kt:
1 x 10^12 eV = 1 x 10^12 x 1.602 x 10^-19 kt = 1.602 x 10^-7 kt
Example 2:
Convert 5 x 10^15 eV to kt:
5 x 10^15 eV = 5 x 10^15 x 1.602 x 10^-19 kt = 8.01 x 10^-4 kt
The Electron-volt to Kiloton Converter is a tool that represents the culmination of scientific progress in understanding energy units. Initially, eV was used within the realm of particle physics, while kt was referenced for nuclear energy. The converter bridges these disciplines, offering a seamless translation between the minuscule and the massive.
Explore real-life scenarios where converting energy from Electron-volts to Kilotons can be a crucial tool in scientific and industrial applications.
Example 1:
To convert 2 x 10^13 eV to kt:
2 x 10^13 eV = 2 x 10^13 x 1.602 x 10^-19 kt = 3.204 x 10^-6 kt
Example 2:
To convert 7 x 10^16 eV to kt:
7 x 10^16 eV = 7 x 10^16 x 1.602 x 10^-19 kt = 1.1214 x 10^-2 kt
