About electronvolts and BTU
The Conversion Formula
To convert electronvolts to BTU, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 eV = 1.5186e-22 BTU. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 eV to BTU: 25 × 1.5186e-22 = 3.7964e-21 BTU. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 1.5186e-22, or equivalently multiply by 6.5852e+21.
About electronvolts
The electronvolt (eV) is the tiny unit of energy used in particle physics. It is the energy gained by an electron accelerating through 1 volt. It is essential for describing photon energy, chemical bonds, and nuclear reactions. electronvolts are commonly used in Particle physics, Semiconductors, Nuclear energy, and Chemistry bonds, Microscopy.
A photon of visible light has an energy of about 2-3 eV.
About BTU
The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the imperial counterpart to the calorie. It is the heat needed to raise 1 pound of water by 1°F. Despite its name, it is almost exclusively used in the United States today, particularly for heating (furnaces) and cooling (air conditioners). BTU are commonly used in AC unit ratings, Gas grills, Furnaces, and Water heaters, Propane tanks.
Burning a single wooden match releases about 1 BTU.
When Would You Convert electronvolts to BTU?
Converting between electronvolts and btu is one of the most common energy conversions. You might need this conversion when working with international specifications, following instructions written for a different measurement system, or comparing values across different standards. Having the conversion factor (1 eV = 1.5186e-22 BTU) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
