Why convert Btu (IT) to electron-volt?

This conversion allows users to relate macroscopic heat energy to atomic and particle physics scales, bridging classical thermodynamics and quantum energy units.

What does one electron-volt represent?

An electron-volt is the energy gained by an electron moving through one volt of electric potential, commonly used to describe atomic and particle energy scales.

Are electron-volts practical for large thermal energies?

Electron-volts suit microscopic energies; for large thermal values, results become very large and need careful interpretation using scientific notation.
