This video introduces and explains the Electronvolt for A Level Physics.
In everyday life we use the joule to measure energy. When we consider the energy of individual particles or photons, it is often more convenient to use a smaller unit: the electronvolt, eV.
ELECTRONVOLT DEFINITION: THE ENERGY GAINED BY AN ELECTRON ACCELERATING THROUGH A P.D. OF 1 VOLT
