What are Megaelectron-volt and British thermal unit

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of particle physics. It is equivalent to one million electron volts. An electron volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. In other words, 1 MeV is 1,000,000 times the energy an electron or positron gains or loses when crossing an electric potential of one volt.

The British thermal unit (Btu) is a traditional unit of heat; it is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. It is part of the British Imperial system of units. The Btu is frequently used in the power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries. The unit is also used in the United States and to some extent in the United Kingdom, which has officially switched to the metric system.

History of Megaelectron-volt and British thermal unit

The conversion between Megaelectron-volts and British thermal units reflects the intertwining of particle physics and thermodynamics. Historically, physicists needed to relate the energy of particles, measured in electron volts, to more macroscopic energy units like the Btu, used in heating and energy sectors. This conversion thus bridges the gap between atomic-scale energy measurements and everyday energy usage.
