Harness the power of precision with our MeV to GWh converter, a tool expertly crafted by Newtum to seamlessly transform Megaelectron-volt measurements into Gigawatt-hours.
A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of particle physics. It represents one million electron volts, a measure of the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron accelerating from rest through an electric potential difference of one volt. This small unit is significant in studying subatomic particles and nuclear reactions where energy levels are extremely high, yet the scale is minuscule.
Definition of Gigawatt-hourA Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a large unit of electrical energy commonly used to measure production or consumption of electricity on a large scale. One GWh equals one billion watt-hours. It's typically used by power plants and electric utilities to quantify the output of electricity over a period of time, embodying the scale at which industrial energy transactions occur and is equivalent to powering around 700,000 average homes for an hour.
| Megaelectron-volt (MeV) | Gigawatt-hour (GWh) |
|---|---|
| 1 MeV | 2.78 x 10^-22 GWh |
| 10 MeV | 2.78 x 10^-21 GWh |
| 100 MeV | 2.78 x 10^-20 GWh |
| 1,000 MeV | 2.78 x 10^-19 GWh |
| 10,000 MeV | 2.78 x 10^-18 GWh |
| 100,000 MeV | 2.78 x 10^-17 GWh |
| 1,000,000 MeV | 2.78 x 10^-16 GWh |
| 10,000,000 MeV | 2.78 x 10^-15 GWh |
| 100,000,000 MeV | 2.78 x 10^-14 GWh |
| 1,000,000,000 MeV | 2.78 x 10^-13 GWh |
1 MeV = 2.78 x 10^-22 GWh
1 GWh = 3.6 x 10^25 MeV
Example 1:
Convert 5 MeV to GWh:
5 MeV = 5 × 2.78 x 10^-22 GWh = 1.39 x 10^-21 GWh
Example 2:
Convert 10,000 MeV to GWh:
10,000 MeV = 10,000 × 2.78 x 10^-22 GWh = 2.78 x 10^-18 GWh
