Question

How are units of volts and electron volts related?How do thay differ?​

Answer 1

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.

Voltage is a measure of how much energy is delivered to charge. At its most basic, an electron (basic charge) is imparted 1.602×10−19 joules when moved through an electric potential difference of one volt. An electron is then said to have an energy of 1 electronvolt.
