Embark on a journey of precision with Newtum's Kilojoule to Kiloelectron-volt Converter – an essential tool for scientists and engineers eager to convert energy units from kJ to keV effortlessly.
A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy within the International System of Units (SI). It equates to 1,000 joules, the standard unit of energy. Kilojoules are commonly used to express the energy content in food, the amount of work performed by a force over a distance, or the heat produced by an energy source.
Definition of Kiloelectron-voltA kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy that is equal to 1,000 electron-volts. It is commonly used in the fields of particle physics and electromagnetism to describe small amounts of energy typical of the scale of atoms and subatomic particles.
| Kilojoule (kJ) | Kiloelectron-volt (keV) |
|---|---|
| 1 kJ | 6.242e+15 keV |
| 2 kJ | 1.248e+16 keV |
| 3 kJ | 1.873e+16 keV |
| 4 kJ | 2.497e+16 keV |
| 5 kJ | 3.121e+16 keV |
| 6 kJ | 3.745e+16 keV |
| 7 kJ | 4.369e+16 keV |
| 8 kJ | 4.994e+16 keV |
| 9 kJ | 5.618e+16 keV |
| 10 kJ | 6.242e+16 keV |
1 kJ = 6.242e+15 keV
1 keV = 1.602e-16 kJ
Example 1:
convert 5 kJ to keV:
5 kJ = 5 × 6.242e+15 keV = 3.121e+16 keV
Example 2:
convert 10 kJ to keV:
10 kJ = 10 × 6.242e+15 keV = 6.242e+16 keV
A brief history of the Kilojoule to Kiloelectron-volt Converter traces back to the needs of physicists and engineers to compare energies in different units. The converter was conceived as a tool to bridge the gap between macroscopic energy measurements in kilojoules, typical for chemical reactions and calorimetry, and microscopic energy scales in kiloelectron-volts, crucial for particle physics and radiography.
