About Megaelectronvolt

A megaelectronvolt is 10^6 eV and appears in nuclear and particle physics contexts.

About Joule

The joule is the SI unit of energy. All other units here are converted through fixed joule equivalents.

How to convert megaelectronvolts to joules

1 megaelectronvolt is equal to 1.60217663e-13 joule when both are expressed in joule-equivalents:

1 mev = (1.602176634e-13 J ÷ 1 J) j = 1.60217663e-13 j

Each megaelectronvolt is defined as 1.602176634e-13 J and each joule as 1 J in this tool, so one mev equals 1.602176634e-13 ÷ 1 j = 1.60217663e-13 j.

Let d(mev) be the numeric amount in Megaelectronvolt (mev), and d(j) the amount in Joule (j). Then:

d(j) = d(mev) × (1.602176634e-13 / 1)

Equivalently, divide by how many mev fit into one j (joules per j divided by joules per mev):

d(j) = d(mev) ÷ 6.24150907e+12

Or: joule = megaelectronvolt ÷ 6.24150907e+12

Examples

Example #1: Convert 1 mev to joule

1 mev = 1 mev × (1.602176634e-13/1) j = 0 j

1 mev = 1 mev ÷ 6.24150907e+12 = 0 j

Example #2: Convert 10 mev to joule

10 mev = 10 mev × (1.602176634e-13/1) j = 0 j

10 mev = 10 mev ÷ 6.24150907e+12 = 0 j

Summary

To convert Megaelectronvolt to Joule, multiply the value in mev by the ratio of joules per mev divided by joules per j. Equivalently: value_j = value_mev × (1.602176634e-13 / 1). Numerically, 1 mev equals 1.602176634e-13 j.

Relationship context

You are converting between atomic-scale energy (electronvolts) (Megaelectronvolts) and SI energy (joules) (Joules). All values are mapped through joules first. The numeric factor is 1.602177e-13.
