Discover the seamless conversion from Kiloelectron-volts to Nanojoules using Newtum's precision tool. Engage with our keV to nJ converter and satisfy your curiosity about energy unit transformations.
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.
Definition of NanojouleA 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.

100,000 keV | 16021700 nJ |
1,000,000 keV | 160217000 nJ |
1 keV = 160.217 nJ
1 nJ = 0.006242 keV
Example 1:
convert 5 keV to nJ:
5 keV = 5 × 160.217 nJ = 801.085 nJ
Example 2:
convert 3 keV to nJ:
3 keV = 3 × 160.217 nJ = 480.651 nJ
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.
