Convert electronvolt to foot-pound

Learn how to convert 1 electronvolt to foot-pound step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (e l e c t r o n v o l t) = x (f o o t - p o u n d)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (e l e c t r o n v o l t) = 1.602176462 \times 10^{- 19} (j o u l e) = 1.602176462 \times 10^{- 19} (J)

Right side: 1.0 (f o o t - p o u n d) = 1.3558179483314 (j o u l e) = 1.3558179483314 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (e l e c t r o n v o l t) = x (f o o t - p o u n d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.602176462 \times 10^{- 19} \times (j o u l e) = x \times 1.3558179483314 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.602176462 \times 10^{- 19} \cdot (J) = x \cdot 1.3558179483314 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.602176462 \times 10^{- 19} \cdot (J) = x \times 1.3558179483314 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

1.602176462 \times 10^{- 19} = x \times 1.3558179483314

Switch sides

x \times 1.3558179483314 = 1.602176462 \times 10^{- 19}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.3558179483314})

x \times 1.3558179483314 \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558179483314} = 1.602176462 \times 10^{- 19} \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558179483314}

Cancel

x \times 1.3558179483314 \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558179483314} = 1.602176462 \times 10^{- 19} \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558179483314}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.602176462 \times 10^{- 19}}{1.3558179483314}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.1817047148 \times 10^{- 19} \approx 1.1817 \times 10^{- 19}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (e l e c t r o n v o l t) \approx 1.1817 \times 10^{- 19} (f o o t - p o u n d)
