What is Difference between electron volt and joules??
Answers
Answer:
An electronvolt is the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron accelerating from rest through an electric potential difference of one volt in vacuum. ... The electronvolt (eV) is a unit of energy whereas the volt (V) is the derived SI unit of electric potential. The SI unit for energy is the joule (J).
electrons are the negatively charged particles which keeps on rotating inside an atom these electrons play a major role in electricity because when electrons move or rotate the current flows and that's how electricity is obtained.
volt is nothing but the SI unit of voltage(potential difference). which means how much work is done to move 1columb of charge from one place to infinity.
and at last, joules is the SI unit of electrical energy which is the amount of work done in unit
time that is the work done to make the charge flow so that current can be obtained.
