What does 1 MeV represent in joules?

1 MeV equals exactly 1.602176634×10^-13 joules, defining the energy scale at atomic levels.

Is newton meter only used for energy?

While N·m is dimensionally equivalent to joules (energy), it also commonly expresses torque, which is conceptually distinct.

Why are the converted values so small?

Because 1 MeV corresponds to an extremely small energy in mechanical units, the equivalent newton meter values are correspondingly tiny.
