How to Convert Ergs to Electronvolts
To convert ergs to electronvolts (eV), multiply the number of ergs by 6.242 x 1011. This is because 1 erg is equal to 10-7 joules, and 1 joule is equal to approximately 6.242 x 1018 eV.
Formula
Electronvolts = Ergs × 6.242e11
or
eV = erg × 6.242e11
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in ergs
- Multiply that number by 6.242e11
- The result is the equivalent energy in electronvolts
Examples
- 1 erg = 1 × 6.242e11 = 6.242 x 1011 eV
- 5 erg = 5 × 6.242e11 = 3.121 x 1012 eV
- 10 erg = 10 × 6.242e11 = 6.242 x 1012 eV
