Gigajoule To Hartree Converter

Effortlessly Convert GJ to E_h with Newtum's Precise Energy Calculator

Dive into the convenient world of energy conversion with Newtum's Gigajoule to Hartree Energy Converter, an essential tool for professionals and students alike.

What are Gigajoule and Hartree

A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) that is equivalent to one billion joules. It's commonly used to represent large quantities of energy in the fields of science and engineering. For instance, the global production of energy is often quantified in gigajoules. This unit provides a standardized measure for energy resources and consumption, allowing for clear communication and comparison across various energy sources.

The Hartree, also known as Hartree energy (E_h), is the atomic unit of energy in the field of atomic physics. It is named after the British physicist Douglas Hartree. The value is based on the ground-state energy of the hydrogen atom and is used primarily in quantum chemistry and atomic physics for simplifying calculations. One Hartree is approximately equal to 4.35974434 x 10^-18 joules. It serves as a convenient scale when dealing with the minuscule energy levels of electrons in atoms.
