QuestionQuestion 3

How are units of volts and electron volts related? How do they differ?

Solution

Volt is the unit of electric potential difference and electron volt is the unit of energy

Volt: It is 1J of work done in moving unit positive charge from one point to another, keeping electrostatic equilibrium. 
					1volt=1 joule / 1 coulomb
Electron volt: The energy gained or lost by an electron as it moves between two points having potential difference of one volt.
				1eV= 1e x 1V = 1.6 x 10-19C x 1 V
				1eV = 1.6 x 10-19 C
