unit:EV

Type
Description

An electron volt (eV) is the energy that an electron gains when it travels through a potential of one volt. You can imagine that the electron starts at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate, which is at one volt higher potential. Numerically $$1 eV$$ equals $$1.6x10^{-19} joules$$, where $$1 joule$$ is $$6.2x10^{18} eV$$. For example, it would take $$6.2x10^{20} eV/sec$$ to light a 100 watt light bulb.
