Convert megaelectron-volt to watt-second
Please provide values below to convert megaelectron-volt [MeV] to watt-second [W*s], or Convert watt-second to megaelectron-volt.
1 MeV = 1.6022e-13 W*s. To convert megaelectron-volt to watt-second, multiply the value by 1.6022e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 W*s = 6.2415e+12 MeV). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 MeV = 1.6022e-13 W*s
- 1 W*s = 6.2415e+12 MeV
- 10 MeV = 1.6022e-12 W*s
- 100 MeV = 1.6022e-11 W*s
How to Convert Megaelectron-Volt to Watt-Second

Megaelectron-Volt
A megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy equal to one million electron-volts, commonly used in nuclear and particle physics to express the energy of particles.
History/Origin
The megaelectron-volt was introduced as a convenient unit for expressing high-energy particles in physics, particularly after the development of particle accelerators in the mid-20th century, replacing the electron-volt for larger energy scales.
Current Use
Today, the MeV is widely used in nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics to quantify the energy of subatomic particles, nuclear reactions, and cosmic phenomena.
Watt-Second
A watt-second (W·s) is a unit of energy equivalent to one joule, representing the amount of energy transferred or converted when one watt of power is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The watt-second originated from the SI system of units, where the watt (W) is the SI derived unit of power, and the second (s) is the SI base unit of time. It has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where energy transfer occurs over short durations.
Current Use
The watt-second is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small amounts of energy, such as in electrical and mechanical systems. It is often replaced by the joule in modern applications but remains a recognized unit within the energy converter category.
