About both units

From

Megajoule

The megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules. Used for fuel energy content, large-scale mechanical work and in some European natural-gas billing. A litre of petrol contains about 34 MJ of energy.

Real-world: 1 L petrol: ~34 MJ. 1 L diesel: ~38 MJ. Tesla Model 3 full charge: ~270 MJ.

Electronvolt

The electronvolt equals 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ joules — the energy gained by an electron accelerated through 1 volt. It is the natural energy unit of atomic, nuclear and particle physics. Chemical bonds are a few eV; LHC protons reach 7 TeV = 7 × 10¹² eV.

Real-world: Silicon band gap: 1.12 eV. Hydrogen ionization: 13.6 eV. LHC proton: 7 TeV. Photon wavelength 500 nm = 2.5 eV.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 MJ = 1000 kJ = 0.278 kWh.
Natural gas heat content often quoted as MJ/m³.
For fuel economy, use MJ/km or L/100km interchangeably.

Avoid these

Confusing MJ with MW (power).
Using MJ for electricity bills — kWh is standard.
Mixing fuel energy (MJ) with fuel volume (L) without unit conversion.
