How the formula works
Both kilojoule and electronvolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in kilojoules by 6.241509074e+21 to get electronvolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a electronvolt value by 1.602176634e-22 to get back to kilojoules.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kilojoule (kJ)?
A kilojoule (kJ) equals 1,000 joules and is commonly used on nutrition labels outside the United States.
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.
How do I convert kilojoules to electronvolts?
Multiply the kilojoule value by 6.241509074e+21 to get the equivalent in electronvolts. For example, 5 kJ × 6.241509074e+21 = 3.120755e+22 eV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined against the SI base unit for this dimension, so the factor 6.241509074e+21 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert electronvolts back to kilojoules?
Yes. Divide the electronvolt value by 6.241509074e+21, or multiply it by 1.602176634e-22, to get kilojoules.
