What are Kiloelectron-volt and Nanojoule

A Kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1.602×10^-16 joules. It is commonly used in the fields of particle physics and electromagnetism. One keV represents the kinetic energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one thousand volts.

A Nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one billionth of a joule (10^-9 joules). It represents a very small amount of energy, typically used to measure the energy in microscopic systems or in quantum mechanics.

History of Kiloelectron-volt and Nanojoule

The Kiloelectron-volt to Nanojoule Converter has its roots in the need to bridge the gap between units used in particle physics and those used in broader scientific applications. As technology advanced, so did the need for precise conversions, leading to the development of tools like this converter.
