dcterms: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 \(1 eV\) approximates \(1.6x10^{-19} joules\), 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.
