Converting from Electronvolt (eV) to Gigajoule (GJ) | Energy

What is Electronvolt (eV)

Electronvolt (eV) is a unit of energy commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics. It is defined as the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.

What is Gigajoule (GJ)

Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billion joules. It is commonly used to measure large amounts of energy such as in the energy industry.
