Discover the ease of converting energy units from keV to kJ with Newtum's precise Kiloelectron-volt to Kilojoule Converter. Start your seamless conversion journey here and satisfy your curiosity about the intricacies of energy conversion.
A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts. It is commonly used in the fields of particle physics and electromagnetism. One electron-volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it passes through an electric potential difference of one volt in a vacuum. Therefore, a kiloelectron-volt represents a thousand times that energy.
Definition of KilojouleA kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one thousand joules. It is a commonly used measure of food energy, heat, and in various scientific contexts. The joule is the energy transferred when one newton of force moves an object one meter. Thus, a kilojoule is 1,000 newton-meters of work or energy.
