The Planck constant in eV·s, erg·s and other units

Since 2019 both h and the elementary charge are exact, so h in electronvolt seconds is exact too: h/e. NIST lists it as “Planck constant in eV/Hz”; eV/Hz and eV·s are the same unit.

h = 6.626 070 15 × 10−34 J Hz−1 about this constant →

How it is computed: 6.626 070 15 × 10⁻³⁴ J s ÷ 1.602 176 634 × 10⁻¹⁹ J/eV = 4.135 667 696 92 × 10−15.

All values computed from the CODATA 2022 value and unit definitions (SI Brochure, NIST SP 811). Exact values are rounded only for display. Checks.
