How Joules to eV works

Electronvolts (eV) are used in quantum mechanics and particle physics.

One electronvolt is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron accelerating from rest through an electric potential difference of one volt in vacuum.

Formula
1eV = J ÷ 1.602176634×10⁻¹⁹

1 eV ≈ 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ J.
