How the formula works
Both electronvolt and picojoule measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in electronvolts by 1.602176634e-07 to get picojoules. To reverse the conversion, multiply a picojoule value by 6241509.074 to get back to electronvolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Electronvolt (eV)?
An electronvolt (eV) is the energy gained by a single electron accelerating through a potential difference of one volt, widely used in atomic and particle physics.
What is Picojoule (pJ)?
A picojoule (pJ) is a metric-prefixed unit of energy equal to 10-12 joules, a fraction of a single joule, using the SI pico prefix.
How do I convert electronvolts to picojoules?
Multiply the electronvolt value by 1.602176634e-07 to get the equivalent in picojoules. For example, 5 eV × 1.602176634e-07 = 8.010883e-07 pJ.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined against the SI base unit for this dimension, so the factor 1.602176634e-07 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert picojoules back to electronvolts?
Yes. Divide the picojoule value by 1.602176634e-07, or multiply it by 6241509.074, to get electronvolts.
