What is an electron-volt?

An electron-volt (eV) is the energy gained by an electron when it moves through an electric potential difference of one volt, commonly used in atomic and particle physics.

What does Calorie (nutritional) mean?

A nutritional Calorie, denoted with a capital C, equals one kilocalorie or 1,000 small calories, representing energy in food and metabolism.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you understand that 1 nutritional Calorie equals 1,000 small calories and 4,184 joules.
Use the conversion for theoretical or educational purposes given the vast magnitude difference.
Double-check units to avoid confusion between calorie (small c) and Calorie (capital C).
Apply this conversion primarily in scientific contexts involving both atomic energy and nutrition.

Limitations

The electron-volt represents extremely small atomic-scale energies, while nutritional Calories reflect large metabolic energy quantities.
Due to the significant scale difference, this conversion is mainly conceptual, not practical for everyday energy use.
Proper use requires awareness of the nutritional Calorie being equivalent to 1,000 small calories and 4,184 joules.
