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 mJ = 0.001 joule (J)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 eV = 1.602177 × 10⁻¹⁹ joule (J)
Step-by-step substitution for Millijoule → Electron-volt:V(eV) = V(mJ) × ( 0.001 / 1.602177 × 10⁻¹⁹ ) = V(mJ) × 6.241509 × 10¹⁵
