What are Electron-volt and Megaton

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

A megaton is a unit of energy typically used to express the explosive power of nuclear weapons. It is equivalent to the energy released by one million tons of TNT, or approximately 4.184 petajoules.

History of Electron-volt and Megaton

The concept of converting electron-volts to megatons emerged from the need to understand the vast differences in energy scales. From subatomic particle reactions measured in electron-volts to the colossal energy released by nuclear weapons in megatons, this converter helps bridge the comprehension gap.
