Formula: GJ = eV × 1.602177e-28

Reverse: eV = GJ × 6.241509e+27

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Electron Volt. For example: 5 eV
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 1.602177e-28
The result is: 8.010883e-28 GJ

About Electron Volt

The electron volt (eV) is a unit of energy and work. One electron volt equals 1.602177 × 10^-19 joules. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other energy unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: energy calculations, engineering and science, education.

About Gigajoule

The gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy and work. One gigajoule equals 1.000000 × 10^+9 joules. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other energy unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: energy calculations, engineering and science, education.
