Electronvolts to Joules converter (eV to J)
Convert Electronvolts (eV) to Joules (J) with this free calculator. Type a value, press Convert, and the page applies the same factor shown in the formula below — no rounded shortcut, and nothing is stored on a server.
How to convert Electronvolts to Joules
1 electronvolt (eV) is equal to 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ joules (J).
E(J) = E(eV) × 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹
Multiply electronvolts by 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹:
Example: Convert 1 eV to joules:
E(J) = 1 × 1.6022 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.6022 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

How this calculator works
The form on this page is a Electronvolts-to-Joules converter. After you enter a number, JavaScript multiplies or rearranges it with the published conversion factor and writes the J result in the output box. The step-by-step panel repeats the arithmetic so you can copy it into homework or a spreadsheet.
