Converted with ConstantID's unit table; digits are rounded to the precision of the value, and a long exact value is rounded only for display. The relative uncertainty is unchanged by conversion to an exactly defined unit.

How the value changed, 1998–2022

Each point is one CODATA adjustment, plotted as its difference from the 2022 value; the bars show one standard uncertainty (an arrowhead means the bar runs off the chart).

“Change from previous” is the shift in the value divided by the standard uncertainty of the previous adjustment. Earlier values are converted into the current unit where NIST changed it (for example J s to J Hz⁻¹).
