Q1: What are some basic energy units that can be converted using the Energy Conversion Calculator?
A1: Some basic energy units that can be converted using the Energy Conversion Calculator are:
- Joules to kilocalories
- Joules to kilowatt-hours
- Joules to electronvolts
Q2: How can I convert energy from joules to kilocalories and vice versa using the Energy Conversion Calculator?
A2: To convert energy from joules to kilocalories, you can use the conversion factor: 1 kcal = 4184 J. For the reverse conversion (kilocalories to joules), use the conversion factor: 1 J ≈ 0.000239 kcal.
Q3: What is the relationship between kilowatt-hours (kWh) and joules in the Energy Conversion Calculator?
A3: One kilowatt-hour (kWh) is equal to 3,600,000 joules (3.6 MJ). Conversely, 1 MJ ≈ 0.278 kWh.
Q4: How is energy converted from joules to electronvolts using the Energy Conversion Calculator?
A4: In the Energy Conversion Calculator, 1 joule is approximately equal to 6.2415 × 10^18 electronvolts (eV). Conversely, 1 eV ≈ 1.60217 × 10^-19 joules.
Q5: What is the energy equivalent of one ton of TNT in joules according to the Energy Conversion Calculator?
A5: According to the Energy Conversion Calculator, one ton of TNT is approximately equal to 4.184 gigajoules (GJ) or 1 gigacalorie (Gcal).
Q6: How can I convert energy from therms to joules using the Energy Conversion Calculator?
A6: To convert energy from therms to joules, you can use the conversion factor: 1 therm ≈ 105.5 MJ.
