About electron volt
The electron volt, or electronvolt, is a unit of energy equal to 1.60217656535 × 10-19 joules (1 eV = 1.60217656535 × 10-19 J), the SI derived unit of energy.
The electron volt (eV) is also equal to 1.60217656535 × 10-10 nanojoules (nJ), or 1.60217656535 × 10-16 millijoules (mJ), or 1.60217656535 × 10-22 kilojoules (kJ) or 0.001 kiloelectronvolts (keV).
The electronvolt is the kinetic energy gained by a free electron when it travels through a potential difference of one volt.
Although the electronvolt is not an SI unit, it is typically used with SI prefixes. Common multiples and subdivisions of electronvolt include millielectronvolts (or milli-electron volts), kiloelectronvolts (or kilo-electron volts), megaelectronvolts (or mega-electron volts), gigaelectronvolts (or giga-electron volts), teraelectronvolts (or tera-electron volts), etc.
- 1 millielectronvolt (meV) = 0.001 electronvolts (eV)
- 1 kiloelectronvolt (keV) = 1,000 electronvolts (eV)
- 1 megaelectronvolt (MeV) = 1,000,000 electronvolts (eV)
- 1 gigaelectronvolt (GeV) = 1,000,000,000 electronvolts (eV)
- 1 teraelectronvolt (TeV) = 1,000,000,000,000 electronvolts (eV)
The electronvolt is commonly used in physics for measuring the energies of elementary particles.
