Convert Megaelectronvolt to Erg
Input the number of megaelectronvolts you want to convert to ergs.
How to Convert Megaelectronvolts to Ergs
The megaelectronvolt and erg are both units of energy. 1 erg equals 624150.90745 megaelectronvolts. This means to convert megaelectronvolts to ergs, you divide by 624150.90745.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MeV to ergs:
We need to convert megaelectronvolts to ergs
Since 1 erg = 624150.90745 MeV, divide by 624150.90745
5 ÷ 624150.90745 = 8.01088317e-6
5 MeV = 8.01088317e-6 erg

About These Units
Megaelectronvolt (MeV)
A megaelectronvolt (MeV) equals 1 million electronvolts. MeV measures nuclear binding energies, particle accelerator energies, and gamma radiation. The electron rest mass energy is 0.511 MeV. Nuclear reactions release energies in the MeV range.
Erg (erg)
An erg is the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy equal to 10⁻⁷ joules or 1 dyne-centimeter. Ergs appear in older scientific literature and some astronomical calculations. One joule equals 10 million ergs. Rarely used in modern applications.
