How to Convert Hartree Energy to Joule

Converting Hartree Energy (Eh) to Joule (J) is a core calculation in Energy and Work, which quantifies the physical capacity to perform mechanical work, generate heat, or emit electromagnetic radiation. This calculation bridges modern MKSA metric standards with the historical Gaussian centimetre-gram-second (CGS) electrostatic and electromagnetic framework. In CGS systems, electromagnetic units (such as statvolts, abvolts, dynes, ergs, and gauss) are formulated directly from mechanical dimensions, with electrostatic-to-electromagnetic relations tied to the speed of light in vacuum (c ≈ 2.99792458 × 1010 cm/s). Exactly 1 Hartree Energy translates to 4.359745 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joule (1 J = 2.293712 × 10¹⁷ Eh).

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (joule (J)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 Eh = 4.359745 × 10⁻¹⁸ joule (J)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 J = 1 joule (J)
Step-by-step substitution for Hartree Energy → Joule:V(J) = V(Eh) × ( 4.359745 × 10⁻¹⁸ / 1 ) = V(Eh) × 4.359745 × 10⁻¹⁸
Mathematical FormulaValue in Joule = Value in Hartree Energy × 4.35974525 × 10⁻¹⁸Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

For an engineering input of 36 Eh, applying the conversion factor yields exactly 1.569508 × 10⁻¹⁶ J. At larger operational scale, 5000 Hartree Energy corresponds to 2.179873 × 10⁻¹⁴ J.

Inverse check: 1 J = 2.293712 × 10¹⁷ Eh.
