How do i convert one volt to electron-volts and then to joules?
Dear, electron volt (eV) is the unit for energy in Atomic Physics and in Nuclear Physics. But the volt is not a unit of energy in any subject. Instead, it is a unit for voltage, potential difference or electromotive force (EMF). Because these two quantities are entirely different from each other, therefore, the two quantities cannot be equal in any sense. Yes, rather you can convert eV into joules. As we know that, the magnitude of charge on an electron is 1.6 × 10^-19C and in international system of units for measurements, volt is equal to J/C. Therefore, 1eV = (1.6 × 10^-19C) (J/C) => 1eV = 1.6 × 10^-19J Conversely, you may have 1J = 1eV/1.6 × 10^-19 => 1J = 6.
