Embark on a journey of precision with our GWh to keV converter tool, designed to effortlessly transmute energy units, sparking curiosity and enlightenment.
A Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy that represents one billion (1,000,000,000) watt-hours. Typically used in the context of electricity generation and consumption, it measures the substantial amount of power over the course of an hour. One GWh could power 10 million 100-watt light bulbs for an hour, illustrating its application in large-scale energy contexts.
Definition of Kiloelectron-voltA Kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts. It is a small energy measurement unit common in the field of particle physics and astronomy. One keV is approximately the kinetic energy gained by an electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one thousand volts in a vacuum.
| Gigawatt-hour (GWh) | Kiloelectron-volt (keV) |
|---|---|
| 0.001 GWh | 3.6e+21 keV |
| 0.01 GWh | 3.6e+22 keV |
| 0.1 GWh | 3.6e+23 keV |
| 1 GWh | 3.6e+24 keV |
| 10 GWh | 3.6e+25 keV |
| 100 GWh | 3.6e+26 keV |
| 500 GWh | 1.8e+27 keV |
| 1000 GWh | 3.6e+27 keV |
| 5000 GWh | 1.8e+28 keV |
| 10000 GWh | 3.6e+28 keV |
1 GWh = 3.6 × 10^24 keV
1 keV = 2.78 × 10^(-19) GWh
Example 1:
Convert 2 GWh to keV:
2 GWh = 2 × 3.6 × 10^24 keV = 7.2 × 10^24 keV
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 GWh to keV:
0.5 GWh = 0.5 × 3.6 × 10^24 keV = 1.8 × 10^24 keV
The conversion of Gigawatt-hours to Kiloelectron-volts represents the intersection of macro and micro energy scales. Historically, the need for such a conversion has emerged with advances in physics, where understanding the large-scale energy production in terms of subatomic particles' energy becomes essential, notably in the fields of particle physics and cosmology.
Discover the practicality of converting GWh to keV, a tool essential in bridging the vast scales of energy from power grids to particle physics.
Example 1:
Converting 1 GWh to keV:
