What are Electron-volt and Therm

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

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy also known as a thermie. It is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) and is commonly used in the natural gas industry to denote the energy content of gas volumes.

History of Electron-volt and Therm

The concept of converting electron-volts to therms has its roots in the need to relate small-scale energy measurements in physics to larger, practical units used in energy industries like natural gas.

Solved Examples eV to thm

Example 1: To convert 10 eV to therms, the calculation would be: 10 eV x 3.826 x 10^-20 thm/eV = 3.826 x 10^-19 thm.

Example 2: Converting 100,000 eV to therms: 100,000 eV x 3.826 x 10^-20 thm/eV = 3.826 x 10^-15 thm.
