Distinguish between volt and electronvolt
Answers
Electonvolt (symbol: eV) is a unit of energy One eV is equal to the amount of energy one electron acquires by accelerating (from rest) through a potential difference of one volt. It is usually used as a measure of particle energies although it is not an SI (System International) unit The SI unit for energy is the JOULE. 1 eV = 1.602 x 10-19 joule
Volt is the SI unit of ELECTRIC POTENTIAL potential difference or e.m.f. (electro motive force) defined as the difference of potential between two points on a conductor carrying a constant current of one ampere when the power dissipated between the points is one watt. It is named after Alessandro Volta
➡Volt is the SI Unit of potential difference
➡Electronvolt is the Unit of energy.
