Electron-Volt
An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.
History/Origin
The electron-volt was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for expressing atomic and subatomic energies, especially in quantum physics and particle physics, replacing larger units like the joule for small-scale energies.
Current Use
The electron-volt is widely used in physics and chemistry to quantify energies at the atomic and subatomic levels, such as in spectroscopy, particle physics, and quantum mechanics, due to its convenience in expressing small energy values.
Kilowatt-Hour
A kilowatt-hour (kW·h) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or used when a power of one kilowatt is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-hour originated in the late 19th century with the development of electrical power systems, becoming a standard unit for measuring electrical energy consumption and billing.
Current Use
It is widely used today in electricity billing, energy consumption monitoring, and in various engineering and scientific applications to quantify electrical energy usage.
