What does one electron-volt represent?

One electron-volt is the energy gained by an electron accelerated through a voltage difference of one volt, exactly equal to 1.602176634×10⁻¹⁹ joules.

What is one megawatt-hour?

One megawatt-hour equals the energy of one megawatt of power sustained for one hour, equivalent to 3.6 × 10⁹ joules.

Why convert electron-volts to megawatt-hours?

This conversion helps relate very small particle or atomic energy values to the much larger energy units used in electrical power generation and consumption.
