Convert megaelectron volt to j
Megaelectron volt
The megaelectron volt (MeV) is a unit of energy equal to one million electron volts, or approximately 1.602 × 10⁻¹³ joules. It is the standard energy unit in nuclear physics and particle physics for describing the kinetic energies of subatomic particles and the binding energies of atomic nuclei. The rest mass energy of an electron is approximately 0.511 MeV.
Joule
The joule (/dʒaʊ,dʒuːljawl, jool; symbol: J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
