Explore the simplicity of converting Hartree Energy (Eh) to Gigajoules (GJ) with our quick and accurate online tool, designed to make your calculations effortless and precise.
The Hartree, also known as Hartree energy, is a unit of energy used in the field of atomic physics. It is named after the British physicist Douglas Hartree. The Hartree is equivalent to the potential energy of an electron in an atom when the electron is at rest in the ground state. It is defined as 4.35974434 × 10^-18 joules (which is approximately 27.2114 electron volts). As an atomic unit of energy, one Hartree represents the scale of energy in atomic systems, making it a fundamental quantity in theoretical chemistry and quantum physics.
Definition of GigajouleA Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy defined within the International System of Units (SI), which is equal to one billion joules. To put it into perspective, one joule is the energy expended when a force of one newton moves an object one meter. Therefore, a Gigajoule represents a substantial amount of energy. It is commonly used to quantify large-scale energy usage or production, such as in the fields of natural gas and electricity. In practical terms, one Gigajoule is roughly equivalent to the energy content of 26 liters of gasoline.
| Hartree (Eh) | Gigajoule (GJ) |
|---|---|
| 1 Eh | 4.3597e-18 GJ |
| 2 Eh | 8.7195e-18 GJ |
| 3 Eh | 1.3079e-17 GJ |
| 4 Eh | 1.7439e-17 GJ |
| 5 Eh | 2.1799e-17 GJ |
| 6 Eh | 2.6158e-17 GJ |
| 7 Eh | 3.0518e-17 GJ |
| 8 Eh | 3.4878e-17 GJ |
| 9 Eh | 3.9237e-17 GJ |
| 10 Eh | 4.3597e-17 GJ |
Example 1:
Convert 2 Eh to GJ:
2 Eh = 2 × 4.3597e-18 GJ = 8.7195e-18 GJ
Example 2:
Convert 5 Eh to GJ:
5 Eh = 5 × 4.3597e-18 GJ = 2.1799e-17 GJ
The Hartree Energy to Gigajoule Converter is a modern tool that originated from the need to bridge atomic-scale energy units with macro-scale ones. It enables easy translation of the quantum mechanical energy unit, Hartree, into Gigajoules, which are commonly used in larger scale applications like energy resource quantification.
Discover the real-world utility of the Hartree Energy to Gigajoule Converter, a tool that bridges the gap between atomic energy and large-scale energy measurements.
Example 1: To convert 3 Eh to GJ, use the formula: 3 Eh × 4.3597e-18 GJ/Eh = 1.3079e-17 GJ.
Example 2: To convert 6.5 Eh to GJ, use the formula: 6.5 Eh × 4.3597e-18 GJ/Eh = 2.8338e-17 GJ.
